Estudo exploratório de validação cruzada utilizando metodologia DEA nas escolas nota dez de Sobral, Cariré, Frecheirinha, Massapê/CE (ano base 2013)

The Government of the State of Ceara, through the Department of Education - Seduc -, has been implementing educational validations guided by accountability model since 2003. One of these actions in order to orchestrate the improvement of educational quality, is called School award note ten, a measure of encouragement and recognition to the good results of schools across the literacy goal of all students of the 2nd year. Whereas the educational indicators for awards schools are extracted from the Permanent System of Evaluation of Basic Education of Ceara - Spaece/Alfa -, there was an exploratory study, cross-validation, in order to check the consistency and reproducibility of the results of excellent schools propagated by School award note ten. Or this, we applied the data envelopment analysis model - DEA - in 91 measured by Spaece schools in the municipalities of Sobral, Frecheirinha, Carire Massape and, from 2013, in order to compare with the contents efficiency in DMUs. The study revealed that there is agreement between models. The results showed that the 16 winning schools - DMUs - obtained acceptable efficiency ratio between 0.90 and 1.0, the DEA, noting that the schools note ten were also considered schools of excellence by the DEA model. This confluence of the models indicates that the results of Spaece/Alfa enable reliable subsidies to evaluate the efficiency of schools. However, the cross-validation also showed that there are 33 schools, inside the efficiency curve, but which have not received the Award school note dec. In this respect, the analysis lacks balance, because for that school unit to be awarded the Note Award Ten in addition to achieving the desired proficiency, there is also the requirement that the municipality where it is located, obtain at least 70% of students, 2nd year, with the level Desirable in Spaece/Alfa scale. In addition, the school needs is among the 150 ranking with the best student proficiencies in Ceara. Thus, further study to determine the factors that revealed discrepancy would be required. Key-words: evaluation, DEA, award school note ten.
