Abstract

GESSER, Veronica  and  DIBELLO, Lilia. STEM Education Plan and the Relationships with the The Large Scale Assessment Policy. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.1, pp.81-93. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644418173.

In this article we characterize the relationship between STEM Education policy of the United States, and the evaluation policies for basic education in the State of Florida. An analysis of data collected from official documents available online was conducted. We employed the technique of content analysis in order to characterize the level of correspondence, influences and relationships between the official documents of both entities. We identified relationships which were observed through the terms standardization, measurement, training, models, skills, priority areas, performance/progress and development/professional growth. These alignments between the federal policy level and the impact on practice at the State level highlight certain truths and areas where perhaps imaginary interests of certain hegemonic groups are being legitimized by the State.

Keywords : STEM Education; Educational assessment; Curriculum, and Public Policy.
