The external evaluations and the minimum curriculum of geography of the state of Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The main objective of the work proposed here is to present the educational model created in the last decade for the state of Rio de Janeiro. This model, based on external evaluations and the construction of a Minimum Curriculum, is related to education plans developed at the national scale that are linked to international projects for "Not developed", that have as one of their guidelines the improvement of educational indices. The search for understanding such "improvement", especially with regard to the impacts on Geography teaching, justifies the analysis of policies centered on external evaluations and the curriculum.
