Avaliação externa e em larga escala: o entendimento de professores que ensinam matemática na educação básica

Abstract

The main idea of this research was to investigate teachers comprehension who teach mathematics in basic education about external and large-scale assessments. The theoretical assumptions that supported the reflections and analyses were based on the learning evaluation, assessment in mathematics education and external and large-scale assessments. The main papers used as a reference in each of the areas are respectively: Almeida and Franco (2011), Arredondo and Diago (2009), Fernandes (2009), Buriasco and Soares (2012), Cury (2009), Sameshima (2008) , Moraes and Moura (2009), Amaro (2013), Bonamino and Sousa (2012), Dantas (2009), Horta Neto (2010a, b), Rosistolato and Viana (2014). The methodology adopted for the development of the research was the qualitative approach, with data collection procedure performed through semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the interviewers understanding about the evaluation processes that permeate the school environment is very superficial and misunderstandings identified in various concepts that circumscribe the external and large-scale assessments can result in damage to the pedagogical action. In mathematics education, the survey revealed that the external and large-scale assessments incorporate elements of a traditional evaluation practice, which does not favor the error perspective as an opportunity to improve knowledge that was not well acquired
