Abstract

CERDEIRA, Diana Gomes da Silva et al. Knowledge and use of educational indicators in the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.69, pp.926-968.  Epub Dec 01, 2017. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v28i69.4104.

This article aims to describe and analyze the results of a study that attempted to determine whether there was a relationship between technical knowledge on large-scale assessments and the effective use of indicators produced by them. We carried out a qualitative approach - focus groups and systematic observation in the context of a training course for school managers -, as well as a quantitative approach - a web survey conducted with principals, co-principals and pedagogical coordinators of municipal schools in Rio de Janeiro. Our main argument is that the expansion of knowledge on large-scale assessment systems tends to reduce resistance and allows the school management teams to use the data to guide their practical actions.

Keywords : Educational Indicators; Education Assessment; Continuing Education; School Management.
