Inicialmente impulsionada pela emergência de governos neoconservadores e neoliberais, há duas décadas e meia, a avaliação tornou-se obsessiva e unidireccional, quer pelo facto de continuar a manter a sua presença de forma relativamente indiferente à natureza de governos de outras orientações político-partidárias quer pelo facto de continuar a contribuir para maximizar as funções de controlo e de legitimação, em vez de apoiar mecanismos democráticos de prestação de contas e de responsabilização (accountability) mais congruentes com a promoção de justiça social e educacional.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[The growing central role of assessment cannot be understood separate of contemporary public and educational policies, or, more specifically, isolated from the role and redefinition of the State in the context of globalization. Initially, prompted by the emergence of neo-conservative and neo-liberal governments, twenty five years ago, assessment became a single-focused obsession, whether due to the fact that it continues to maintain its presence, in a way that is relatively indifferent to the nature of governments and other political-party orientations, or due to the fact that it continues to contribute to maximizing the functions of control and legitimization, rather than supporting democratic mechanisms of accountability and responsibility that are more in keeping with the promotion of social and educational justice.]]></p></abstract>
