Os laços e os nós na busca pela qualidade educacional em Duque de Caxias, Baixada Fluminense

Abstract

The significant advance of enrollment in elementary education since the 1970s has made possible along this time, the displacement of the concerns about quality of education in Brazil, from access to school performance / learning, through the difficult search for improvement of student flow results . From 1990 on, the federal, state and city governments began to invest more systematically in public policies based on the results of large-scale evaluations of the quality of education in Brazilian schools as a whole. Starting from the analysis of the results of the historical series of the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) from the beginning of its application in 2005 until 2015, this research has as its starting point the observation of the performance of the Duque de Caxias city elementary education school network in Baixada Fluminense, Rio de Janeiro. From the identification of this trajectory the study presented here analyzed the conception of educational quality in the basic education expressed in the guiding documents of school management of the city and in the speech analysis of network managers and schools in Duque de Caxias, which we believe can ground the public policies of the educational management system applied in the school network.
