SOUSA, Joana Raquel Faria de  and  PACHECO, José Augusto. Teachers’ perceptions on the external evaluation of schools in Portugal. Roteiro. UNOESC [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.1, pp.237-258. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v43i1.15852.

The study presented in this article emerges from an investigation carried out within the Schools Self-evaluation Observatory, with the main purpose of understanding the trends in teachers’ perceptions regarding the effects of the External Evaluation of Schools (EES) on the Portuguese reality. Through a quantitative study based on a ques tionnaire survey applied to teachers of the School Groups and Non-Grouped Schools of the Ministry of Education network in the Northern region of Portugal, the results are analyzed through data processing from which two main tendencies are emphasized: the teachers’ perception of the influence of the EES in the intermediate management bodies’ dynamics, in the curricular articulation, in the quality mechanisms that promote educa tion, in the discussion about the internal organization of the school, in the orientation to the students learning outcomes, in the External Evaluation of Learning, in the professio nal development of the teachers and in the promotion of the social image of the school; the undefined teachers’ perception regarding the improvement of pedagogical support and the contribution to curricular differentiation as an effect of EES.

Keywords : External Evaluation of Schools; Institutional Evaluation; School Inspec tions; Curriculum.
