Studies focused on relationship between teacher education and student performance, however, are still little studied in Brazilian context. This research seeks to expand knowledge within that specific scope, analyzing predictive relationships between teacher education profile and their student’s performance, generating information that can contribute for the understanding of the results of teacher education policies. The applied method is quantitative, using multiple regression on data published by INEP (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira). In addition to performance average scores from Prova Brasil, calculated for schools, the analysis uses the following educational school’s indicators: Indicator of Adequacy of Teacher Training, percentage of Teachers with Higher Education, indicator of Teaching Effort, indicator of Teacher Regularity, indicator of Socioeconomic Level of the school. The relationship between the percentage of teachers with higher education and the performance measured for 4th grade / 5th grade schools is analyzed, besides the relationships between the percentage of teachers with adequate training in the subject they teach and the performance of schools with 8th grade / 9th grade, controlled by the other indicators, both for Portuguese Language and for Mathematic subjects. Results show that, in all four studied models, teacher education is related to student performance, evaluated by school’s average scores, with positive effects but low intensity when compared to the effect of socioeconomic levels. The explanatory power of the models varied approximately between 30% to 48%. Although with lower intensity, the effect was coherent with the hypothesis formulated based on the theory revision, pointing to the fact that investments in teacher education policies can be instruments of investment in the quality of education.Documento textualporAcesso abertoEducação BásicaFormação DocenteDesempenho DiscenteProcesso de Ensino-AprendizagemDissertação120847
