SANTOS, ANA LÚCIA FELIX and VILARINHO, EMÍLIA. Regulation and accountability in (re)configuration of policies for education. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.3, pp.1161-1180. Epub Mar 15, 2022. ISSN 2447-4193. https://doi.org/10.21573/vol37n32021.104999.
This study addresses accountability as an element of educational policy. It understands that educational accountability consists of policy actions that involve the interaction between evaluation, accountability, and responsibility. It considers that educational evaluation policies, as they have been instituted in our country, present themselves as measures to regulate education. Based on literature research, it problematizes the concept of accountability and reveals that it has been studied in different ways. There are purely analytical texts and there are analytical and propositional texts. In this latter, it is possible to find a neo-liberal management- based perspective and a critical one.
Keywords : Education evaluation; Accountability; Education regulation.
