BAUER, Adriana. Usos dos resultados das avaliações de sistemas educacionais: iniciativas em curso em alguns países da América. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2010, vol.91, n.228, pp.315-344. ISSN 2176-6681.

This article is based on a research that sought to characterize large scale educational assessments developed in American countries. It gathers referential information from various sources and analyses trends on the usage of the results of system assessments, from their stated objectives. It seeks to recover the objectives of the first experiments in the field of educational assessment since the 19th century and to examine the goals established for the current system assessments, since the 1990s. In order to conclude, it highlights a tendency towards the use of these assessments for the management and accountability of educational systems. Finally, it calls the reader’s attention to some critics that have been made to these assessments and their goals.

Keywords : System Assessment; Results; Educational Management.
