Teacher Evaluation

The performance evaluation of teachers in the Goiás State Education Network was the subject of this study. The main objective of this research was to investigate the system of teacher performance evaluation, from planning to using the results. The methodological tools used in the research were a qualitative approach using the case study technique. The following instruments were used to collect data: semi-structured interviews with 31 subjects, document analysis and non-participant observation. Content analysis was used to process the data. The discussions covered various aspects of the subject: international and national education policies and teacher performance evaluation, as well as institutional evaluation as part of teacher performance evaluation. The data collected in this research revealed that the mechanisms used to draw up the proposal show an authoritarian relationship, which did not include the participation of teachers in its preparation. The evaluation system appears to be a mechanism used by the state to create criteria for career progression.
