Abstract

BASSETTO, Camila Fernanda. The local analysis of Saresp results: an approach with hierarchical models. Ciência educ. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e21063.  Epub Oct 02, 2021. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320210063.

This study investigates school-internal and school-external factors that impact on student scholastic performance. Therefore, we used the math performance in SARESP of students in the 3rd grade of high school enrolled in public schools of São Paulo state and their parents' answers to questionnaires administered by participating schools. The schools were classified into regions according to the Board of Education to which they belong, thus enabling a spacial analysis of students’ math performance. Multilevel models were proposed, and the parameters estimates were obtained using RStudio software. Results show that the schooling of parents, family income and the fact that students do their homework positively impact on a student's mathematics performance in SARESP. On the other hand, while the inadequate number of teachers affects student results, more experienced school managers have a positive effect on the performance in mathematics in SARESP.

Keywords : Evaluation of school performance; Mathematics proficiency; Public school; High school; SARESP.
