Abstract

SORDI, Mara Regina Lemes de et al. Social quality indicators of public schools: advancing in the ass ess ment field. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.66, pp.716-753. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v27i66.4073.

A large-scale multidimensional assessment model based on the social quality of public schools is the focus of this study developed alongside the Observatório de Educação. The voice of teachers and managers captured via a focus group was contrasted with the theoretical framework of human training, generating an instrument containing indicators arranged in a Likert-type scale, which was answered by 846 municipal teachers. The statistically processed data showed schools that work towards social quality without losing their identity in the different dimensions. This study is intended to be used as a way to collaborate with the advances in the field of educational measures in order to prevent the reductionism of the uni/bidimensional indexes. Such advances do not disregard institutional participatory evaluation, which is seen as a strategic instance that enables the school to address its practices and deliberate about the new challenges in the fight for social quality.

Keywords : Educational Indicators; Social Quality; Large-Scale Multidimensional Assessment; Participatory Institutional Assessment.
