Avaliação nacional da alfabetização e provinha Brasil: percepção dos gestores e suas funções

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how the results of national literacy ratings ANA and Provinha Brazil contribute to the diagnosis of literacy in Brazil and are used by state managers of education. Both assessments are implemented by the National Institute of Educational Studies Teixeira (INEP) at different stages of elementary school literacy cycle. The ANA is the newest assessment composing the scope of SAEB and should be applied at the end of the 3rd year of primary school, in order to indicate whether students are literate to eight years old. Therefore, it held research with qualitative approach, from triangulation methods based on conducting focus group, semiestruradas interviews and document analysis. The survey revealed that evaluations provide a portrait of literacy of Brazilian students, but there is great difficulty on the part of managers, schools and teachers to use their results. As for the possibility of integrating the results of the ANA and Provinha Brazil, the analysis of the reference arrays has shown that this is not possible directly, since they are in different scales and deliver different products of the learning process. However, for the Federative Units that do not have their own rating system, the results of national assessments are very important, as the sole source of information. It was found that the influence of evaluation results in the management of public policies, such as PNAIC own, are weak and there is no direct influence of evaluation results, ANA and Provinha Brazil, in education policy developed by the states surveyed.
