Close to a decade ago Hong Kong completed the implementation of a New three-year Senior Secondary (NSS) curriculum by introducing the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) examination. Because mathematics is one of the core subjects intricately involved in this education reform, it is necessary to evaluate the connection between the Hong Kong S1 – S6 mathematics curriculum and the mathematics compulsory portion of the HKDSE examination. A curricular alignment study can provide insight to policymakers, students, teachers, and schools concerning agreement between the intended curriculum and the assessed curriculum. This research study adopted a combination of criteria from the Achieve’s alignment protocol and Webb’s alignment method to determine the alignment between the Hong Kong S1 – S6 mathematics curriculum and the mathematics compulsory part of the 2018 HKDSE examination. A panel of three mathematics educators identified the assessment item/learning objective match, classified the content centrality value of each match, and identified the Depth of Knowledge of each assessment item. The alignment results indicate a wide range from no to strong indication of alignment between the Hong Kong S1 – S6 mathematics curriculum standards and the 2018 HKDSE examination. Areas of misalignment were found within the Measures, Shape and Space strand and the Data Handling strand of the Hong Kong S1 – S6 mathematics curriculum, where both show deficiencies in meeting the minimum benchmark for the categorical concurrence and the range of knowledge correspondence.

It analyzes which historical knowledge was selected so that part of the students had the right to enter the gymnasium sand how the evaluation system was constituted and its power to determine the primary level curriculum regarding contents and teaching methods. It uses as sources curricular and didactic manuals used as preparatory to the exams, published and commercialized by several publishers of the period for the 4th and 5th year of primary education, besides the own exams of History elaborated by several official institutions of the state for entrance to these condary education, especially the São Paulo State College, known as the State's first public high school. The procedures of analysis of the documentation have as the oretica references works by André Chervel, Gimeno Sacristán, David Hamilton and Ivor Goodson who discuss questions about curriculum and school subjects, by Circe Bittencourt about the teaching of the discipline of History and especially of text books, as well Alain Choppin / O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os exames de História para a admissão ao curso secundário público em São Paulo nas décadas de 1950 e 1960, época marcada por lutas pela ampliação do acesso ao ensino secundário gratuito, ao mesmo tempo em que determinações legais impunham a obrigatoriedade da aprovação nos exames admissionais como um único meio de ingresso aos cursos ginasiais. Entender como os conhecimentos históricos eram selecionados para que parte dos alunos tivesse o direito de ingresso aos ginásios; e como se constituiu o sistema avaliativo e seu poder de determinar o currículo do nível primário, no que diz respeito aos conteúdos e métodos de ensino. Foram utilizados, como fontes de pesquisa, programas curriculares e livros didáticos utilizados como preparatórios para os exames, publicados e comercializados por diversas editoras do período para os 4º e 5º anos do ensino primário, além dos próprios exames de História elaborados por diversas instituições oficiais do estado para ingresso ao ensino secundário, em especial o Colégio Estadual São Paulo, conhecido como a primeira instituição de ensino secundário público do Estado. Os procedimentos de análise da documentação têm como referenciais teóricos trabalhos de André Chervel, Gimeno Sacristán e David Hamilton, que discutem questões acerca do currículo e das disciplinas escolares; e de Circe Bittencourt a respeito do ensino da disciplina de História, e especialmente dos livros didáticos, assim como Alain Choppin
