This thesis is focusing on school evaluation from the point of view of its specifics and functionality in regard to its motivation purpose. The findings regarding evaluation are shown in an independent chapter showing the positive and negative aspects of forms of assessment in practical application. Following chapter dealing with motivation describes needs in relation to school activities as well as brief explanation of causal attribution. More attention is paid to the achievement motivation, especially to characteristics of needs for achievement in relation to pupils' responses to mental stress in task situations. There are briefly mentioned some of the newer motivational theories and their application in school showing the possible modification of outer motivation to autonomy. Widely processed are methods and aspects of evaluation that support motivation and provide pupils with examples for self- assessment. Qualitative research is focused on assessment processes leading to positive motivation. Concluding proposition summarizes several recommendations for teacher in the role of evaluator. Keywords School evaluation, motivation, achievement motivation, self-appraisal.

This thesis is a descriptive case study of the first sustainability magnet themed elementary school in the U.S., the Sustainability Academy (SA) in Burlington, VT. The thesis provides an in depth case study narrative of the first pilot year of the SA (2009) as well as an examination of the analytical frameworks for evaluating the efficacy of sustainability movements in schools. A literature review is provided to distinguish between a type of static sustainability that supports the current educational paradigm and a type of sustainable education that identifies sustainability as a moving target and a deep process to transcend the current education paradigm. A step-by-step process for school evaluations of sustainability education is explored and discussed using: 1) the case study research of the SA in their pilot year; 2) the literature review on education and sustainability, systems thinking and school transformation; and 3) the exploration and adaptation of analytical frameworks for sustainability in education.

In such a way that the evaluation results measured by IDEB (Basic Education Development Index), since its implementation, has been showing a relative growth in every stage of education, however it still shows low results in school development. Since this has been observed, the aim of this study has been to find explanations and a more grounded comprehension about the failure of the public schools in Brazil, concerning the educational outcome of the pupil, having as reference a database from a municipal system of teaching. This study was based on the analysis of official documents related to education policies for the school and on field research in two municipal schools in the city of Goiânia, where observations of the routine of these schools took place as well as interviews with head teachers, deputy head teachers and teachers. The results confirm the hypothesis that one of the strongest explanations for the low pupil s performance in the standard examinations is precisely in the fact that the education policies as based on the results, hold the teachers accountable for the unsatisfactory pupil s performance, and release them from the internal factors that interfere in the pupil s learning. It also confirms some authors position that in opposition to those policies, recommend not to lose from sight the organisational conditions, the curriculum, the pedagogical practices, teaching methods and so on, when analysing the success or failure conditions, which are real and concrete conditions that produce the learning and development of the pupils. / As reformas do sistema educacional brasileiro a partir da década de 1990, culminaram, entre várias mudanças e concepções de educação, com o monitoramento do desempenho escolar a partir de um sistema de avaliação em larga escala. De forma que, os resultados das avaliações aferidos pelo IDEB, desde sua implementação, têm demonstrando relativo crescimento em todas as etapas do ensino, mas ainda conferindo baixo resultado do desempenho escolar. A partir desta constatação, este estudo teve por objetivo a busca de explicações e compreensão mais fundamentada do insucesso da escola pública no Brasil em relação à aprendizagem escolar dos alunos, tendo como referência dados e informações a partir de um sistema de ensino municipal. O estudo baseou-se na análise de documentos oficiais referentes a políticas educacionais para a escola e em pesquisa de campo em duas escolas municipais da cidade de Goiânia, onde foram realizadas observações do cotidiano dessas escolas e entrevistas com diretoras, coordenadores e professoras. Os resultados apontam para a confirmação da hipótese de que uma das explicações mais fortes do baixo desempenho dos alunos nas provas estandardizadas está precisamente no fato de as políticas educacionais assentadas em resultados, ao responsabilizarem as escolas e os professores pelo desempenho insatisfatório dos alunos, se desresponsabilizam pelos fatores internos que interferem em sua aprendizagem. Confirma, também, a posição de alguns autores que, em direção contrária àquelas políticas, recomendam não se perder de vista, ao analisar as condições de sucesso ou insucesso escolar, as condições organizacionais, o currículo, as práticas pedagógicas, as metodologias de ensino etc., que são as condições reais e concretas em que se efetivam a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento dos alunos.

The objective of this research is to discuss the theoretical production surveyed at the Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertations which deal with school dropout and higher education evaluation produced after 1990. After this period, a great increase in the amount of private higher institutions in Brazil was observed. However, researches show that families have been unable to afford their children s education, among other factors that result in dropping out. The methodology adopted in this work was based on a state-of-the-art research referred to as bibliographical investigation, which helps us discuss and map out academic production, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. The results of the bibliographical investigation on school dropout rates show that, among the most diverse areas of Science, there is a gap or dispersion in theoretical and methodological debates about this issue and few teaching institutions, whether public or private, have specific programs to handle the problem of school dropout. / A evas?o ? um dos problemas educacionais que mais atingem as Institui??es de Ensino Superior, sejam p?blicas ou particulares, principalmente em per?odos de crise econ?mica, gerando graves consequ?ncias sociais, acad?micas e financeiras.

Πρόσφατα, υπό την επιρροή Διεθνών Οργανισμών και της ΕΕ, η Γερμανία και η Φινλανδία πήραν μέτρα που αφορούν την ανάπτυξη και εξασφάλιση της ποιότητας στην εκπαίδευση γενικά, και στη σχολική μονάδα ειδικότερα. Στην παρούσα μελέτη επιχειρείται η συγκριτική προσέγγιση του γερμανικού και του φινλανδικού εκπαιδευτικού συστήματος στο παράδειγμα της εκπαιδευτικής αξιολόγησης, στην πρωτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση, στη Γερμανία (Βάδη – Βυρτεμβέργη) και στη Φινλανδία. Και οι δύο χώρες αποτελούν μέλη της Ε.Ε. με ισχυρή κρατική πρόνοια αλλά με διαφορετικές ιστορικές, εθνικές καταβολές και διαφορετικό κοινωνικό οικονομικό και πολιτικό υπόβαθρο. / In recent years, under the influence of International Institutes and the EU, initiatives have been taken in Germany and Finland concerning the quality assurance and quality development of education at both the level of the school system and the level of the individual school. In the present study a comparative approach of the German and Finnish educational systems is attempted, in the paradigm of educational school evaluation, focusing on the primary education in Germany (Baden-Wuertemberg) and in Finland. The two countries constitute members of the EU with strong social welfare system but with specific historic and national heritage and different social, economic and political background.

合理科學的高級中學學校評鑑指標體系不僅是教育主管機關檢測學校辦學績效的需要，更是促進學校經營品質提高的指南。目前政府正在推動十二年國民基本教育政策，現有的高級中學學校評鑑指標體系尚存在不同教育主管機關之間的差異問題，因此，需要建構符合十二年國民基本教育實施後新的高級中學學校評鑑指標體系。 本研究的評鑑指標體系是在理性分析的基礎上，首先對指標體系構建的理論基礎、依據、原則進行分析，依據十二年國民基本教育子方案「高中校務評鑑實施方案」，並參考國際相關評鑑指標架構的經驗，確定本研究高級中學學校評鑑指標體系架構。據此擬訂高級中學學校評鑑指標適切性問卷初稿，蒐集焦點團體座談和專家問卷調查的改進建議，增刪、修正部分指標及其內涵說明。其次，依模糊德菲術問卷調查結果，以模糊權重值的高低評選高級中學評鑑指標，經歸一化處理確定權重從而建構本研究之評鑑指標體系，作為高級中學學校評鑑實施之參考。 本研究構建的評鑑指標體系分為「層面、指標及指標內涵說明」，第一級評鑑層面包括校長領導、行政管理、課程教學、學務輔導、環境設備、社群互動、績效表現七個層面。各層面所占權重分別為「課程教學」權重為20.04%、「學務輔導」權重為18.05%、「績效表現」權重為15.76%、「行政管理」權重為13.85%、「環境設備」權重為12.09%、「校長領導」權重為10.55%、「社群互動」權重為9.67%；第二級評鑑指標計50個，每個評鑑指標所占權重介於1.8%至2.2%之間。 / Reasonable and scientific senior high school evaluation indicator system not merely fulfills the need of education authorities to evaluate the performance of a school; it also guides a school in terms of enhancing the quality of school management. Currently the government has been implementing 12-year basic education, and there are disparities within the existing senior high school evaluation indicator systems employed by different education authorities. A new senior high school evaluation indicator system that will meet the need of 12-year basic education, therefore, needs to be set up. The evaluation indicator system of this study is based on rational analysis. In accordance with the “The Implementation Scheme of Senior High School Evaluation” of “12-Year Basic Education” and with reference to international evaluation indicators, this study, for one thing, analyzes the theoretical framework, bases, and principles of indicator system. A first draft of a questionnaire concerning the appropriateness of senior high school evaluation indicators is then drawn up. With the suggestions for revision deriving from the conferences of focus groups and experts’ survey, some indicators and their connotations have been added and revised. For the other thing, with the results of the survey using Fuzzy Delphi Method, the value of the fuzzy weight is normalized and used to select senior high school evaluation indicators. The evaluation indicator system of this study is thus established, which is intended to serve as a reference for the implementation of senior high school evaluation. The evaluation indicator system of this study comprises dimensions, indicators, and their connotations. The first-order evaluation dimension consists of seven dimensions, including principal’s leadership, administrative management, curriculum and teaching, guidance of student affairs, facilities, community interactions, and performance. The weight of each dimension is 0.11, 0.14, 0.20, 0.18, 0.10, 0.10, and 0.16 respectively. The second-order evaluation includes 50 indicators, and the weight of each indicator is between 1.8% and 2.2%.

The objective is to understand how the perspective of evaluation of the school organized by cycles of human formation according to the Political-Pedagogical Proposal of the Municipal Network of Education of Goiânia, management 2001-2004, is characterized, and to perceive how this perspective is confronted with the evaluation mode traditionally constituted in the school organized by the seriation. The main authors that help us in our analyzes are Coêlho (2012), Freitas (2003; 2005) and Lima (2002; 2003), mainly in the identification of school logic and evaluation in confrontation. The methodological choice was that of the case study research (Bogdan and Biklen, 1994), which directs the use of three different ways of accumulating data and its subsequent analysis: the bibliographic survey, the documentary research, and finally, the part empirical. The empirical part was accomplished by conducting interviews with three responsible for the proposal in the SME / Goiânia in the period. Data analysis revealed aspects of the implementation of the formation cycles in Goiânia that are very similar to the experiences of the Plural (MG) and Citizen (RS) schools in two senses: first, it refers to the fact that they are prefectures administered by the Workers Party, which coincides with the Brazilian historical context in which there was the expectation that the State (Federation, States and Municipalities) would adopt practices that would universalize social policies and social inclusion, especially the indices of poverty and misery constituted during the previous decades; second, it shows that, in general, all the experiences of formation cycles point to the confrontation of school failure as an objective. It is inferred specifically that the evaluation perspective proposed in formation cycles of Goiania contributes with possibilities of advancement of the school in the struggle for the improvement of the quality of teaching and its consequent reduction of failure rates. But it also reveals the limits perceived in the reality of the serial school logic, characteristic of the current historical particularity, which contradictorily impede the implementation of advances. The results were only possible by confronting the two models of school organization in their correctness and their contradictions in the practice of evaluation and in the very process of reversing the numbers of school failure. / Este trabalho vincula-se à linha de pesquisa “Fundamentos dos Processos Educativos” do Programa de Pós-Graduação da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Tem como objetivo apreender como se caracteriza a perspectiva de avaliação da escola organizada por ciclos de formação humana segundo a Proposta Político-Pedagógica da Rede Municipal de Educação de Goiânia, gestão 2001-2004, e perceber como essa perspectiva se confronta com o modo de avaliação tradicionalmente constituído na escola organizada pela seriação. Os principais autores que auxilia-nos em nossas análises são Coêlho (2012), Freitas (2003; 2005) e Lma (2002; 2003), sobretudo na identificação das lógicas de escola e de avaliação em confronto. A escolha metodológica foi a da pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso (Bogdan e Biklen, 1994), que direciona o uso de três formas diferentes de acumular dados e sua posterior análise: o levantamento bibliográfico, a pesquisa documental e, por fim, a parte empírica. A parte empírica foi efetivada pela realização de entrevistas com três responsáveis pela proposta na SME/Goiânia no período. A análise dos dados revelou aspectos da implementação dos ciclos de formação em Goiânia bastante semelhante à outras experiências: primeiro, porque refere-se ao fato de serem experiências de prefeituras administradas pelo Partido dos Trabalhadores, fato que coincide com o contexto histórico brasileiro em que havia a expectativa de que o Estado (Federação, Estados e Municípios) adotasse práticas que universalizassem políticas sociais e de inclusão social, principalmente pelos índices de pobreza e miséria constituídos ao longo das décadas anteriores; segundo, porque retrata que, em geral, as experiências de ciclos de formação apontam para o enfrentamento do fracasso escolar como objetivo. Infere-se, especificamente que a perspectiva de avaliação proposta nos ciclos de formação de Goiânia contribui com possibilidades de avanço da escola na luta pela melhoria da qualidade do ensino e sua consequente redução de índices de fracasso. Mas também revela os limites percebidos na realidade da lógica escolar seriada, próprios da particularidade histórica vigente, que impedem, contraditoriamente, a efetivação de avanços. Os resultados somente foram possíveis pelo confronto dos dois modelos de organização escolar em seus acertos e suas contradições na prática da avaliação e no próprio processo de reverter os números do fracasso escolar.

This work is concerned with school evaluation and specifically the organization of education in cycles, implanted by the State Secretariat for Basic Education of Cearà in 1998, as a mechanism to revert the problem of academic failure, school abandonment and distortion of age/grades, in an effort to solve the old and serious phenomenon of school failure. This form of reorganizing the education al system demands a distinct concept of evaluation from that of simple measure and its restricted use of decisions to fail or approve the student. It demands a proper logic of the system in grades. Thus, we tried to analyze the results, in the practical evaluation by the teacher, of the changes introduced in the system of learning evaluation developed in the first and second Formation Cycles in the State of CearÃ. The theoretical foundation was based on studies carried out by authors dealing with school evaluation from a sociological vision. A methodological procedure of a qualitative nature was adopted through a case study at a selected school in Fortaleza. For the collection of data, a documentary analysis was used, as well as a direct observation and interviews with the principal, the pedagogical coordinator, the supervisor, four teachers of the observed groups and two coordinators from the State Secretariat of Education of Cearà - SEDUC. The results show that the conditions offered to the schools and to the teachers caused almost no alteration in the practical evaluation by the teachers. The preoccupation with grades demonstrates that the changes proposed by the official agency, are not occurring. Thus, the present evaluation is not correct, but selecting and rejecting the students. / O presente trabalho tem como foco a avaliaÃÃo escolar na organizaÃÃo do ensino em ciclos, implantado pela Secretaria da EducaÃÃo BÃsica do Estado do Cearà (1998), como mecanismo para reverter a problemÃtica da repetÃncia, abandono escolar e distorÃÃo idade/sÃrie, na tentativa de resolver o antigo e grave fenÃmeno do fracasso escolar. Essa forma de reorganizar o ensino supÃe um conceito de avaliaÃÃo distinto da simples medida e de sua utilizaÃÃo restrita a decisÃes de aprovaÃÃo ou reprovaÃÃo do aluno, lÃgica prÃpria do sistema seriado. Dessa forma, busca-se analisar a repercussÃo, na prÃtica avaliativa do professor, das mudanÃas introduzidas na sistemÃtica de avaliaÃÃo da aprendizagem desenvolvida no primeiro e segundo Ciclos de FormaÃÃo na rede estadual de ensino. A abordagem teÃrica pautou-se nos estudos realizados por autores que tratam da avaliaÃÃo escolar na perspectiva sociolÃgica. Adotou-se um procedimento metodolÃgico de natureza qualitativa, por meio do estudo de caso em uma escola da rede pÃblica estadual localizada em Fortaleza. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se anÃlise documental, a observaÃÃo direta e entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas com a diretora, a coordenadora pedagÃgica, a supervisora, quatro professoras das turmas observadas e com duas coordenadoras da SEDUC. Os resultados mostram que, dadas as condiÃÃes oferecidas Ãs escolas e aos professores, a prÃtica avaliativa exercida pelas professoras pouco sofreu alteraÃÃo em relaÃÃo à mudanÃa na funÃÃo que a avaliaÃÃo historicamente exerceu na escola. A permanÃncia da centralidade na nota demonstra que as mudanÃas propostas pelo ÃrgÃo oficial, quanto à concepÃÃo de avaliaÃÃo, nÃo estÃo ocorrendo. Dessa forma, a avaliaÃÃo praticada, nÃo està cumprindo o papel de formadora e de nÃo seletiva e excludente.

To understand the current situation, we go back to the history of special education and the related evaluation system, emphasizing the legislation which drives the teaching and the evaluation method of learning, as used by the teachers of the São Paulo State Public Schools. The research, as a qualitative kind and explorer nature, has been made using questionnaires filled by teachers of the 5th grade of the Fundamental Course of a public school. The results put in relief contradictory aspects, particularly in the way they are connected to the identification of educational necessities of the pupils, as well as related to the knowledge of these who are specific in the process of their evaluation. To sum up, this is the requirements of the learning process with students dealing with special education necessities in regular classroom, as though the adaptation during the evaluation according to its importance. / Esta pesquisa pretende contribuir para a reflexão sobre alguns dilemas epistemológicos e éticos atualmente presentes no sistema de avaliação da aprendizagem, referindo-se basicamente aos alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais e à maneira como estes vêm sendo avaliados na escola regular. Para compreendermos a condição presente, recorremos à história da educação especial e do sistema de avaliação enfatizando a legislação que normatiza o ensino e a prática de avaliação da aprendizagem, tal como ela é executada pelos professores da Rede Estadual de Ensino de São Paulo. A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e exploratória, foi feita por meio de questionários respondidos por professores de 5ª série do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública estadual. Os resultados sinalizam aspectos contraditórios, particularmente no que se refere à identificação de necessidades educacionais dos alunos, bem como no que tange ao conhecimento de especificidades possíveis no processo de avaliação destes. Evidencia-se assim a importância do processo de repensar a avaliação da aprendizagem de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais matriculados em classe comum, considerando-se a real importância de adaptar a avaliação, que possa eventualmente surgir, bem como, a adequação desta.

The aim of my diploma thesis was to find out how teachers lead their pupils to self - assessment and how this effort relates to the type of their teaching style. The individual teaching styles, their suitability for pupils self-esteem, the particularities of individual development periods and the pupils self-evaluation in these developmental periods are characterized in the theoretical part. The practical part contains a case study, which describes the teaching styles of ten elementary school teachers and their influence on pupils' self-assessment. For the research task I used the data processing via observation and interviewing methods. Another method used in my research is the action teacher research, which helped me to find out my own teaching style and the level of self-esteem students are able to achieve in the 5th grade. The results of the research point to the influence of teacher's teaching style on self-assessment of pupils. Teachers focusing on the facilitating or liberal teaching style really lead pupils to the ability of self- assessment. Fifth-grade pupils who have not been lead to self-assessement since the first grade are not able to self-assess on the level of upper secondary school age.
