Análise do desempenho nas avaliações em larga escala de língua portuguesa: um estudo na Escola Estadual Maria da Piedade Fonseca

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the factors that contribute to the below-expected performance of students in Portuguese Language in external assessments, at Escola Estadual Maria da Piedade Fonseca, in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, and what strategies the management team can use to reduce these factors. We seek to identify the factors that contribute to the below-expected performance of students in Portuguese Language in external assessments at the aforementioned school; analyze how the identified factors affect the performance of students in external assessments at the school studied and propose an action plan, to be carried out by the management team, with strategies to improve the performance of students in Portuguese Language at E.E. Maria da Piedade Fonseca. This topic was chosen due to the researcher's professional work as a Portuguese Language teacher at this educational institution. In addition, in 2022, more than half of the school's high school students performed below expectations in external assessments carried out at the school. Therefore, it is important to identify possible ways to improve student performance in order to improve the pedagogical strategies adopted at the school, both by management and by teachers working at the school. To carry out the work, a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach will be used, in addition to a literature review of previous research on large-scale assessments.
