Resumo: Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa que enfoca as mudanças no cenário educacional brasileiro, iniciadas com a reformulação do Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (SAEB), em 2005, e com a aferição da qualidade da educação pelo Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB), para o cumprimento do Plano de Metas Compromisso Todos pela Educação. O objetivo foi analisar como os dados IDEB foram apropriados e utilizados em escolas públicas municipais de Fortaleza, a partir da perspectiva da equipe de gestão, tendo em vista os desafios das escolas no tocante às metas de qualidade educacional. O estudo abrange três escolas que conseguiram evoluir continuamente as metas do IDEB, nas duas etapas do Ensino Fundamental (5º e 9º anos), nas edições de 2007 a 2013. Os atores foram os gestores da época. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio de entrevistas e análise documental. O estudo mostrou que os atores utilizavam, de fato, os resultados do sistema de avaliação próprio do Governo do Estado do Ceará e evidenciou a necessidade de que gestores e professores buscassem conhecer melhor os resultados de sua instituição nas avaliações externas para utilizá-los como insumos estratégicos no desenvolvimento de projetos educativos, considerando a possibilidade de melhoria das condições de aprendizagem no ambiente escolar.Palavras-chave: Política educacional.

The objective was to analyze how the IDEB data were appropriated and used in municipal public schools of Fortaleza from the perspective of the management team, based on the challenges of the schools regarding the goals of educational quality. The study covers three schools that were able to continuously evolve the goals of the IDEB in the two stages of elementary school (5th and 9th years), in the editions from 2007 to 2013, and the actors were the managers of the time. The research was developed through interviews and documentary analysis. The study showed that the actors actually used the results of the evaluation system of the Government of the State of Ceará and pointed out the need for managers and teachers to better understand the results of their institution in the external evaluations to use them as inputs strategies in the development of educational projects, considering the possibility of improving the learning conditions in the school environment.Keywords: Educational politics.

In China, SMEs are facing financing difficulties, and commercial banks and financial institutions are the main financing channels for SMEs. Thus, a reasonable and efficient credit risk assessment system is important for credit markets. Based on traditional statistical methods and AI technology, a soft voting fusion model, which incorporates logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), is constructed to improve the predictive accuracy of SMEs’ credit risk. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model, we use data from 123 SMEs nationwide that worked with a Chinese bank from 2016 to 2020, including financial information and default records. The results show that the accuracy of the soft voting fusion model is higher than that of a single machine learning (ML) algorithm, which provides a theoretical basis for the government to control credit risk in the future and offers important references for banks to make credit decisions.

This paper focuses on government policies for improving secondary education in decentralized Indonesia. The research combines policy evaluation in the field of education through mixed methods, namely the top down method measuring the effectiveness of Indonesia’s policy reforms in numerical terms and the bottom up ethno-methodological approach incorporating soft system methodology for complementing policy evaluation. Data analysis was done by examining the distribution of narratives provided by the respondents and carrying out a thematic analysis in which emerging themes were used to produce a complex and coherent narrative of the discourse emerging from the case study site in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. The education system in modern Indonesia is marked by the tension between the centralized policy strategy of the Suharto period and the reactive strategy of Post-Suharto decentralization. During his current administration, President Joko Widodo promulgated education policies focusing on basic education reforms in five major areas, namely (i) facilitating the expansion of education facilities across Indonesia through the public and private sector (expansion of facilities and infrastructure in terms of quantity and quality), (ii) making basic education more affordable and accessible across regions and social-economic indicators (accessibility), (iii) improving the quality of educators, service and outputs in basic education (quality), (iv) increasing the relevance of basic education to the demands of tertiary education, the labor market and local economic development (relevance), and (v) good governance and accountability of Indonesia’s basic education system (accountability and public responsiveness). In conjunction with the government and the market in education, indigenous social and political groups have played significant roles in developing the secondary education system in Indonesia. Moreover, these groups have also improved pupils’ performance and pupils’ learning outcomes by improving the extent and quality of the services they provide in comparison to those provided by public schools run by the government. Individualized services which cater to the needs, backgrounds and interests of the consumers have had profound impacts on enrollment, retention, motivation and pupils’ character, knowledge, technical competence and competitiveness. This makes the education system more engaging, empowering and inclusive while taking into account its comprehensiveness. This also aids in promoting learning communities for complementing the government induced education system, for protecting children and for providing a holistic and integrated education services.

Math Test

This study aims to analyze and decompose the gap between White and non-White students’ test scores observed in the Brazilian National Evaluation System of Basic Education (SAEB)—2015. To do so, proficiency equations were estimated for each student race group (White, Brown, Black, and Indigenous) using the recentered influence function method, which generalizes the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition to any point in the grade distribution. The proficiency of White students is higher than the other groups of students, and this difference increases throughout the distribution. Black students exhibit the lowest average test score, behind the Indigenous and then the Brown students. At the lower and middle levels of the math test score distribution, the racial gap is mainly due to the characteristics effect, which represents the part of the proficiency differential that is explained by the differences in observable characteristics of students. However, the gap at the upper level of grade distribution is mainly due the structural effect, which results from non-observable issues, such as discrimination and stereotype threats.

The article reveals the stages of psychological and pedagogical support for primary schoolchildren with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their organization. It is established that not every child with ASD can continue their education in an inclusive class even after studying in a correctional class. Often the main reasons are serious intellectual or behavioral problems, the solution of which is impossible in school. Such students should continue their education in the system of special schools (special correctional schools for children with intellectual disabilities, for children with severe speech pathology, etc.). Those students, who, after the correctional stage, can study in the mode of full inclusion, should move to regular classes and study according to the general schedule together with normally developed children under the obligatory support of a tutor. One of the proposals was the use of a specialized monitoring system, which allowed to adapt the assessment system, so that, on the one hand, children with ASD could achieve results and demonstrate knowledge of the subjects they studied, and on the other hand, allow timely action to address gaps. Also during the educational experiment it turned out that the team approach is one of the main requirements for the organization of training students with ASD in school. Only using such a method makes it possible to develop a single strategy for a comprehensive impact on children with ASD both in lessons and in frontal and individual correctional and developmental classes. It is important that the team includes a sufficient number of specialists to ensure a comprehensive and systematic correctional and developmental impact. The study is promising and allows to continue working in the following areas: development of specialized methods, technologies and forms of teaching students with ASD at the level of primary and basic education; development of the content of psychological and pedagogical correctional work for different groups of children with ASD, differentiated depending on the manifestation of disorders of the emotional-volitional and cognitive sphere of students.

It is reported that the smog days in 2018 were much reduced compared to those in 2013 in China. The air environmental condition in China was much improved because of a number of comprehensive strategies adopted by the government such as phasing out backward production capacities and developing renewable energy industries. In addition, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China adopted a series of measurements to respond to the environmental events, including questioning the local highest official in serious air pollution areas. However, there are still lots of questions to be answered for a long term consideration. For instance, given the current situation of a gross domestic production (GDP) driven assessment system for officials’ credit, how long this high pressure pattern can respond to environmental events, such as air pollution, issue is a question. Therefore, unless this GDP driven assessment system is replaced by another assessment system it cannot last long. This paper also highlights the importance of developing low-carbon industries and circular economy as well as public involvement.

O objeto deste estudo é analisar as normas que regem a “promoção sem titulação” dos professores da rede estadual de educação básica do Ceará. Ademais, buscar-se-á saber como essas normas visam a moldar os docentes daquela rede numa tentativa de “governamentá-los” de acordo com as novas exigências do capitalismo contemporâneo, especialmente tendo como base a teoria do “capital humano”. Os objetivos específicos são: (1) descrever o perfil dos docentes pesquisados; (2) relacionar a teoria do capital humano com a noção foucaultiana de governo; (3) identificar e analisar elementos das normas da promoção que se relacionem com a teoria do capital humano e com a noção foucaultiana de governo; e (4) compreender em que medida o processo de promoção visa ao governo (FOUCAULT, 2008) de suas ações, mediante o estabelecimento de relações de tipo concorrencial com seus pares. Para tanto, foi lançada mão dos seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: análise documental das normas e leis que regulamentam o citado processo de ascensão funcional, o que permitirá se entender o contexto e a conjuntura dos documentos analisados. Ademais, foi realizada revisão de literatura. Alguns resultados são: as normas da Promoção sem Titulação contribuem para fomentar o governamento dos docentes em acordo com as novas exigências do capitalismo, o que se reflete em relações de tipo concorrencial entre aqueles trabalhadores. Os docentes estão envolvidos em uma rede de relações que os direciona quase que inevitavelmente a um tipo de sociabilidade convergente com aquela percebida no capitalismo contemporâneo.ABSTRACTThe object of this study is to analyse the norms that governs the " non-titling promotion " of the teachers of the state network of basic education of Ceará. In addition, it will be sought to know how these norms aim to mold the teachers of that network in an attempt to "govern them" according to the new demands of contemporary capitalism, especially considering the theory of "human capital." The specific objectives are: (1) to describe the profile of the teachers studied; (2) to relate human capital theory with the Foucaultian notion of government; (3) identify and analyze elements of promotion norms that relate to the theory of human capital and with the Foucaultian notion of government; and (4) to understand to what extent the promotion process is aimed at the government (FOUCAULT, 2008) of its actions, through the establishment of competitive relations with its peers. To do so, the following methodological procedures were used: documentary analysis of the norms and laws that regulate the said process of functional ascension, which will allow to understand the context and the conjuncture of the documents analyzed. In addition, a literature review was performed. Some results are: the rules of non-titling promotion contribute to foster the government of teachers in accordance with the new demands of capitalism, which is reflected in competitive relations between those workers. Teachers are involved in a network of relationships that leads them almost inevitably to a kind of sociability convergent with that perceived in contemporary capitalism.

Study Results

This study proposes an improved assessment system for vocational education, thus helping to increase technology college education efficiency. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to examine the relative managerial efficiency for evaluating current-period and cross-period efficiency of 38 technological institutes upgraded from junior colleges in Taiwan by 1998. In addition, the managerial efficiency variations of each individual institute in between 1995 and 1998 were also determined. The study results show that the operational category is significant among primary analysis variants, i.e. private schools perform significantly better than public schools in terms of managerial efficiency. However, geographical location is not significant. This study also verifies that integration of the results of both relative managerial efficiency analysis and managerial efficiency variation analysis could be a powerful approach to help design managerial strategies that are both appropriate and effective. Some strategies to improve organization-wide operational competencies for site decision-makers are recommended, and a new way of thinking to construct a more appropriate evaluation system for the educational authorities is introduced.
