National and International Assessment in Brazil: the link between PISA and IDEB

Abstract: This article analyses the relationship between the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA)designed by OECD and the Index of Development of Basic Education (IDEB), designed by INEP. Currently, educational systems are subjected to implement national and international standard assessments. This process is the result of the New Public Management (NPM) policy implementation, which in Brazil starts at the beginning of the nineties. In this context, statistical data play a relevant role as a government policy tool. This work presents the development of PISA and IDEB, how they relate - from a statistical, methodological and political perspective, and how these dynamics influence the Brazilian educational policy.

摘要：本文分析了经济合作与发展组织（Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development，OECD）制定的国际学生评估项目（Program for International Student Assessment，PISA）与巴西国家教育研究与评估研究所（Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira，INEP）设计的基础教育发展指数（Index of Development of Basic Education，IDEB）之间的关联。当前，全球教育体系均需推行国家及国际标准化评估工作，这一进程是新公共管理（New Public Management，NPM）政策实施的产物，该政策在巴西始于20世纪90年代初。在此背景下，统计数据作为政府政策工具发挥着重要作用。本研究从统计、方法论与政策视角，阐述了PISA与IDEB的发展历程、二者的内在关联，以及这些动态变化对巴西教育政策的影响。
