ALVES, Maria Teresa Gonzaga  y  FERRAO, Maria Eugénias1. One decade of prova brasil: evolution of student performance and grade promotion. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.75, pp.688-720.  Epub 08-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.6298.

This paper analyzes data from Prova Brasil in order to answer two questions: in the ten-year period, have there been advances in the quality of education in terms of learning and student grade progression in primary and lower secondary education (1st to 9th grades)? Who are the students who have (or have not) improved, considering geographic and social characteristics? We present descriptive statistics on proficiency levels and on student self-declaration regarding grade repetition for students in the 5th and 9th grades from 2007 to 2017. Results show a continuous improvement for both quality indicators for all regions and social groups. However, according to the criteria we used, the differences between social groups and between the country’s regions are important to understand the obstacles to overall advancement in learning and to a decrease in grade repetition.

Palabras clave : EDUCATION QUALITY; PROVA BRASIL; LEARNING; STUDENT PERFORMANCE.
