A Política de Avaliação Educacional Amapaense e sua relação com a “qualidade” da educação no município de Santana

Abstract

The research which is titled “The Amapá educational evaluation policy and its relationship with the “quality” of education in the municipality of Santana” has as its main objective to analyze the Amapá educational evaluation policy and its relationship with the “quality” of education in the municipality of Santana. This involves the implementation and consolidation of the evaluation policy executed in all municipalities in the state of Amapá in 2019 to monitor the learning of Basic Education students, aiming the quality of education. The system that covers all municipalities in Amapá, including Santana, applies Portuguese Language, Mathematics and Reading Fluency assessments to students in the second, fifth and ninth years of elementary school. This study considers the categories of totality, historicity and dialogicity in order to understand the entirety of the object of study, inserted in a historical and social context and thus understand the object in its essence and follow the dialectical path, observing the contradictions of the implemented policy and imposed by the hegemonic project of capital. Methodologically, this research is characterized by a qualitative approach. Data collection will take place through interviews with literacy teachers from the Santana municipal network and complemented by observation during immersion in the field under study. The main results of this research show us that the public educational and assessment policies implemented in Brazil and, in this regard, the municipality of Santana, follow standardized models defended by the logic of capitalism and neoliberalism to guarantee labor for the market; that international organizations such as the World Bank, OECD, UN, UNICEF, fulfill their role very well in forwarding these policies to underdeveloped and developing countries, articulating their marketing ideals; that there is a movement in Brazil that manages educational and evaluation policies by imposing a new form of governance to achieve quality in education, developing a privatist policy that begins the dismantling of public schools; that the State of Amapá and the municipality of Santana also follow this standard of education management, imposing responsibility for the results and ineffective teaching on teachers; that the actions of education professionals are controlled and supervised to ensure compliance with the methodology of this business model of Santanense education; that SISPAEAP assessments are considered to regulate and control the educational process and that their results, in themselves, do not represent the quality of education, and are disconnected from the reality of students in Santana. The quality of education is characterized by critical, humanized and world-facing training, considering the socioeconomic and cultural aspects of the Santana Amazon.
