Abstract

In the present study, an exploratory analysis of data related to the results of students in Portuguese Language and Mathematics was performed in the Basic Education Evaluation System through the Brazilian Test. The students of the 9th year of municipal schools in Betim and Minas Gerais were selected. For development, a descriptive analysis was carried out to compare the performance of the 9th grade students in elementary school, the municipal schools of Betim and Minas Gerais, in Prova Brasil 2013 and, relate it to sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics considered relevant for the learning of these students. Through the results found, it is concluded that 9th graders complete elementary school without acquiring the necessary skills for their level of education. Moreover, at the end of the research, through the models of multiple linear regression, it is evident that the failure factor was the one that most negatively influenced the proficiency in Reading and Mathematics. And the variable “Your parents encourage you to read?” presented behavior inconsistent with the expected performance in Portuguese and Mathematics, in Minas Gerais.
