<p>O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a concepção de avaliação adotada pelo Laboratório Latino-Americano de Avaliação da Qualidade da Educação (LLECE), órgão ligado à Organização das Nações Unidas Para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (Unesco). A metodologia se constitui na interpretação dos documentos resultantes das atividades do Laboratório. Com o intuito de organizar a discussão, quatro tópicos são apresentados. Inicialmente, breves considerações sobre o histórico e a organização do LLECE. Na sequência, apontamentos referentes ao Primeiro Estudo Regional Comparativo e Explicativo (1997), as atividades do Segundo Estudo Regional Comparativo e Explicativo (2007) e, por fim, a síntese do Terceiro Estudo Regional Comparativo e Explicativo (2014). Como resultado, sinalizou-se que a avaliação em larga escala, no Brasil, converge com as orientações do LLECE nas últimas décadas. Constata-se a consolidação de um perfil meritocrata e gerencial para as práticas avaliativas.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave:</strong> Avaliação em Larga Escala; Qualidade da Educação; Equidade; LLECE.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Evaluación en el marco del Laboratorio Latinoamericano de Evaluación de la Calidad de la Educación</strong></p><p>El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la concepción de evaluación adoptada por el Laboratorio Latinoamericano de Evaluación de la Calidad de la Educación (LLECE), organismo vinculado a la Organización de las Naciones Unidas Para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (Unesco).

As a result, we observed that, in Brazil, large-scale assessment has converged with the LLECE guidelines in the last decades. A consolidation of a merit-based and managerial profile of assessment practices was also noted.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Large-Scale Assessment; Quality Education; Equity; LLECE.</p>

Suitable land is an important prerequisite for crop cultivation and, given the prospect of climate change, it is essential to assess such suitability to minimize crop production risks and to ensure food security. Although a variety of methods to assess the suitability are available, a comprehensive, objective, and large-scale screening of environmental variables that influence the results—and therefore their accuracy—of these methods has rarely been explored. An approach to the selection of such variables is proposed and the criteria established for large-scale assessment of land, based on big data, for its suitability to maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation as a case study. The predicted suitability matched the past distribution of maize with an overall accuracy of 79% and a Kappa coefficient of 0.72. The land suitability for maize is likely to decrease markedly at low latitudes and even at mid latitudes. The total area suitable for maize globally and in most major maize-producing countries will decrease, the decrease being particularly steep in those regions optimally suited for maize at present. Compared with earlier research, the method proposed in the present paper is simple yet objective, comprehensive, and reliable for large-scale assessment. The findings of the study highlight the necessity of adopting relevant strategies to cope with the adverse impacts of climate change.
