Dimensions for analysis of evaluation proposals of Early Childhood Education policies

ABSTRACT Evaluating education evaluation proposals is a relevant step to consider the potential of these initiatives in promoting quality with equity, to ensure the fulfillment of the State's duty in guaranteeing the right to education. With this assumption, the article presents aspects and dimensions for the analysis of evaluation proposals regarding the Early Childhood Education policy, within the scope of education systems and networks. The propositions result from the survey and interpretation of literature and are supported by legislation and norms in force in the country, in dialogue with the literature that deals with requirements for the preparation and implementation of evaluations. The results of the study confirm the existence of parameters to support the evaluation processes of the stage, which are directed to issues of access, inputs, processes, and results, highlighting the importance of considering the specificities of the stage, the purposes of the evaluation and consequence given to their results.
