Avaliações em larga escala: impactos na atuação do professor Coordenador Pedagógico na rede municipal de educação de Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais)

Abstract

In a context of measures of decentralization and dissemination of the idea of administrative and pedagogical autonomy of public school institutions, especially since the 1990s, the monitoring of the State has been expanded through large-scale tests. It is possible to perceive the implementation of evaluation mechanisms of educational institutions through standardized tests with publicization of results, elaboration of rankings and greater accountability of education professionals. This work exposes the results of a Master’s research on the Belo Horizonte Municipal System Education and aims to discuss the impacts of large-scale evaluations on the performance of the teacher who works as a Pedagogical Coordinator (PCP). A qualitative approach was used and, as a data collection technique, the semi-structured interview. Six PCP participated in the research and pointed out different perceptions regarding the impacts of large-scale external evaluations on their daily lives. Five PCP affirm that external evaluations impact daily work processes. Conversely, one of the PCP states that it does not notice any change in its work process.
