Análise da construção de instrumentos de avaliação em larga escala em ciências humanas: um estudo com base na experiência de equipes do CAEd/UFJF

Abstract

This research, conducted within the Professional Master's Program in Management and Evaluation of Public Education at the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation (CAEd) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), aims to analyze the work of developing assessment instruments by the Human Sciences team analysts at CAEd, particularly concerning the construction of assessment tools for the Early Years of Elementary Education. The choice of this theme emerged from the challenges faced in the daily work of these professionals, since the recent increase in demand for external assessments in this area for the first stage of Elementary Education. In addition to identifying the potentialities and challenges related to largescale assessment in Human Sciences, we seek to understand the specificities of assessment instruments designed for the Early Years in History and Geography. Based on this, we will analyze the particularities of this field of knowledge, potential gaps in the training of its professionals, and the national guiding documents for its teaching, with the objective of proposing an Educational Action Plan aimed at improving the training of CAEd staff and other professionals involved in large-scale assessments in Brazil. Methodologically, we adopted the case study with a qualitative approach, collecting data through questionnaires and interviews to understand the context of this research, the organization of CAEd, and the perspectives of its professionals regarding the daily challenges associated with the institution's external assessments.
