Avaliação educacional: o ENEM e a Teoria de Resposta ao Item - TRI

Abstract

The idea of this work arose from the perception that many teachers and educators, throughout Brazil, knew little about large-scale assessments. Therefore, this work aims to provide elements that allow teachers and managers to better understand this scenario. It addresses the concepts related to educational assessment in Brazil, especially the National High School Exam. After a brief overview of these assessments in Brazil, we present the concept of Reference Matrix as well as the Mathematical Reference Matrix used in ENEM. We also present a brief theoretical basis that guides these evaluations, the Classic Test Theory - TCT and the Item Response Theory - TRI. To exemplify the use of Item Response Theory and the Classic Test Theory, skills were selected throughout the editions of ENEM, from 2009 to 2018, and pedagogical analyzes were made of selected items from 2018 that contemplate such skills. These analyzes were made according to the use of these two theories, and are enriched with pedagogical notes and construction / elaboration of items. Therefore, we end with this pedagogical approach, providing basic notions of elaboration of items.
