Uma análise do desempenho das escolas públicas do Ceará na OBMEP 2019

Abstract

This work was developed from data collected on the OBMEP website between the months of August and November 2020, in order to quantify the medals received by Ceará in the year 2019. Facing Ceará's performance in OBMEP 2019, the motivating question arose of this study: which is to investigate more closely the results achieved by Ceará in the year 2019, and to find possible municipalities and schools that have an above average performance. For this analysis, only the gold, silver and bronze awards from public schools (municipal, state and selective) were considered. The number of medals was placed in spreadsheets and graphs, in order to facilitate data interpretation. Of the municipalities that stood out, the IDEB for the year 2019 of each of them was observed and the schools that obtained a higher concentration of medals in each municipality were also observed. Of those schools that had the highest concentration of medals, the IDEB of each was also observed. We can conclude that there may be a direct relationship between IDEB's grades and the result of the award at OBMEP 2019. That the schools that accumulated medals are also schools that have performed well at IDEB 2019. Further investigation for further studies, an outline of what managers and teachers are doing differently in these schools and cities, and possibly apply to other schools in Ceará and Brazil.
