Gastos em educação básica e desempenho na área de matemática com base nos dados do PISA no período 2003 a 2018

Abstract

Education is a duty of the Brazilian country, and the Brazilian Constitution establishes mechanisms for the performance and accountability of the three executive units (Union, states, and municipalities), mechanisms related to the management and funding of education. Studies reveal the importance of public spending to promote better performance in basic education. Considering the premise that a population which have most of its investments in education, would probably have a better possibility of having the best performances in educational tests. As the mathematics is fundamental in the individual's educational formation, besides being a course that will accompany him in all areas of his personal and professional life, the general objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between Brazilian public spending on basic education and performance in mathematics of Brazilian students from 2003 to 2018. This research is descriptive, documental, and quantitative in nature, based on secondary data, with the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) as the main source of data. As a result of that, it can notice that the correlation is positive and active, showing that bigger investments in education yields a better return in school performance, however, it stands out that not only a increase in investments is enough to obtain better accomplishments, it must be done some researches on other variables including extracurricular.
