GARCIA, Paulo Sergio; PREARO, Leandro; ROMEIRO, Maria Carmo  y  BASSI, Marcus. Educational policies and Science education in Brazil: IDEB case. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.64, pp.251-274. ISSN 2238-2097.  https://doi.org/10.5965/01045962v27n642018251.

The Basic Education Development Index has been monitoring the Fundamental Education, focusing on the subjects of Portuguese and Mathematics (PM). This exclusive focus on PM has taken students to overvalue them in detriment of Science. In this study, it was investigated students’ perception on the relevance of school subjects studied at daily-basis. Results showed that the students attributed great importance to the PM disciplines, induced by their teachers, school and department of education’ actions, who seek better positions on the IDEB ranking. These data are important to promote discussions between schools and education departments on Brazilian educational policies.

Palabras clave : Basic Education; Public Policies; Science Teaching.
