RESUMO

This study is based on a descriptive critical analysis of the National System for Basic Education Evaluation (Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Básica - SAEB) carried through on the basis of documentary bibliographical research. It took in consideration the tools applied to measure the achievement of fourth-grade students in Mathematics and Portuguese Language, during the period from 1995 to 2003, and the matrices of reference, the scales of proficiency and the reports published referring to this period. The tests that evaluate the performance of the pupils are the main instruments of information that today subsidize the multiple intentions of the systems of evaluation in course, and that they guide the reach of the overcoming of the problems. The accomplishment of this study implied, in first place, to contextualize the educational evaluation by means of its historical trajectory. This study also researched the modeling of the achievement tests, the types of analyses used in the present time and the types of more common descriptions of the results of the tests. After that, a research of the Brazilian process of evaluation in the perspective of the North American model was carried through, whose system constitutes as our reference. The following step was to proceed to a critical analysis of the evaluations of the SAEB, in the period above mentioned, considering the abilities surveyed and published in the form of scales and the levels of performance. As a result of the evaluation this work presents a new array of skills and achievement, in order to show the reduction attained in the description of the published scales. The following procedure was critical analysis of the reports of results published by SAEB. Also, it investigated which policies were based on the results of SAEB. Finally, it was considered the influence of SAEB reports on policymakers, the Ministry of Education (MEC) and Education Secretariats in the states. The conclusion reveals that it is urgent to review the reference matrices, that the performance tests will have to be constituted with well-taken care to attune the achievement tests; that the proficiency scales must describe in ampler way the abilities demonstrated for the Brazilian pupils; that the publications of results must be addressed with adequate language to different types of public (researchers, policymakers, teachers and members of the general public); and that SAEB would have to guide actions which could be transformed into policy for the states and secretariats of the MEC, beyond keeping dialogue with these institutions. The role that SAEB represents for the country is emphasized in relation with the dissemination of the assessment culture, the advance of psychometric analysis and in relation with the incentive of the development of institutions specialized in evaluation.
