O Desempenho em Matemática do ENEM de 2012 em Luis Eduardo Magalhães (BA), na Teoria de Resposta ao Item

Abstract

The performance of students in mathematics in the ENEM test is the central discussion of this work. With the changes in the ENEM in 2009, TRI - Item Response Theory - began to be used for the preparation and correction of the test, allowing, therefore, more reliability in the results of the tests, and, of course, a more interesting response To students, beyond the quantitative aspect of correctness and error in questions. The purpose of this paper is to analyze student performance in the ENEM 2012 test in the city of Luis Eduardo Magalhães (BA), comparing with the results of this same test of the participants from the entire state of Bahia. An analysis of 10 questions and their results of correct answers and errors was made, and it was possible to analyze, even without the TRI parameters, on the students’ performance in the respective test. The results of the research are the referral of actions in basic education aimed at raising the performance of high school students who take the ENEM test, through study programs and other means, in the form of educational products. The present research also indicates the progress of its analysis with the obtaining of the TRI parameters - since they are not of public domain and their obtaining is not of easy location and access in the Ministry of Education, as well as, specific programs of software, are not of Which would greatly contribute to improving the clarification of this evaluation throughout Brazil and, consequently, to allow students to increase their performance, especially in mathematics in Luis Eduardo Magalhães (BA).
