BAUER, ADRIANA et al. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EVALUATION INITIATIVES IN BRAZILIAN MUNICIPALITIES: MAPPING AND TRENDS. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.71, pp.90-91.  Epub Sep 25, 2017. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782017227153.

Aiming to map and characterize initiatives related to large-scale assessments under development in Brazilian municipalities, a research with national coverage was developed. The results are addressed in this article, which is organized into four sections. Initially, it presents a synthesis of studies already carried out on the subject, and then methodological procedures are explained. In the third section, results obtained by the survey are discussed, with information collected from 4,309 Brazilian municipalities. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the concepts underlying evaluation methods proposed by each municipality, as well as the uses of results for educational management by the cities’ authorities, showing that large-scale assessment programs are the main tool for education management across municipalities.

Keywords : educational assessment; municipalities, education management; survey.
