DIAS, Bruno Franciso Batista  y  ZOUAIN, Deborah Moraes. The “School Effect”: A historical debate in defense of an optimistic view of education. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.22, e187.  Epub 07-Ago-2023. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v22-2023-187.

The “school effect”, understood as the share of responsibility that the school adds to the students’ learning, has been the subject of a profound debate in the field of social studies over the last few decades. However, the subject is still poorly understood, and it is common to find texts that organize theses with conflicting conceptions of theorists on this subject. In a way, there is a great duality of thought on the subject: on the one hand, a number of researchers who defend that the school is not able to overcome the barrier of sociological factors; on the other, those who point to the important influence of the school on student learning, even in challenging contexts. In this work, we defend the idea that the school effect does exist, and we revisit the history of this theme, confronting its main theories already conceived and contextualizing them with the reality of Brazilian basic public education.

Palabras clave : School effect; Basic education; Public education.
