In the context of large-scale assessment policies, this article presents the results of a study that investigated the views of school principal on the use of the evaluation results in the state school system of Sao Paulo. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and treated by the method of factor analysis. The conceptions of managers show the importance of large-scale assessments in the development of management practices that are linked to pedagogical dimensions and curriculum monitoring being the payment of bonus an incentive to improve educational outcomes. We conclude that these concepts point to the alignment of Sao Paulo advocated by educational policies and an assessment model that became an audit tool directed to obtain data with a view to setting policy and orientation of school management.

Keywords : Large-scale assessment; School manager; Merit policy; Quality of education.
