| Sumario: | This paper seeks to evaluate the large-scale educational assessment and accountability movement that has occurred in Brazil over the past two decades. In the article a brief review of the international literature on educational accountability is made, highlighting the arguments in its defense, the position of the critics and the evaluation of its results. This is followed by a review of the large-scale assessment and accountability movement in Brazil. At the end, an evaluation of this movement is conducted, addressing three issues: a) to what extent does the improvement of Brazilian educational data in fundamental education reflect an improvement in learning or reflect a “score inflation”? b) to what extent have evaluation and accountability programs contributed to this improvement? and c) why did the improvement in primary education not reach high school in the same way? |
