Avaliação e premiação escolar: o que se esconde no jardim das árvores de desempenho?

Abstract

The present article has as scope to discuss about the setbacks of the policy of accountability, represented by the School Note Ten Award, in the state of Ceará, especially regarding the use of so-called pedagogical devices of attribution of school merit. This work was developed from bibliographical studies, having as main source the main author’s master’s dissertation, entitled The effects of the Note Ten School Award in the pedagogical processes of the award-winning schools of Sobral and those of Caucaia in 2009, Published in 2016, which some reports of the students interviewed in the second year of elementary school were analyzed. At the end of this study, we verified that the pedagogical strategies in reverse (to exchange for toast and the tree of school performance), used by the award-winning schools of Sobral, camouflage the competitiveness, selection and classification between “fit” and “ Fit, “as well as hiding meritocracy in the conditioning of children seeking to achieve better incomes in return for rewards for gifts and / or prizes. Thus, in the garden of performance trees, the discrimination and prejudice against those who deviate from the standard, the standard of “normality” and the achievement of school excellence are hidden.
