Applying Content Analysis to Brazilian National Exams

Brazil has an educational evaluation system that covers all levels of education. Each level of education has its own system that collects data from the schools, and applies exams and questionnaires to verify the academic level of the students. This paper applies a methodology for the analysis of exams by content knowledge, to two national Brazilian exams: ENEM and ENADE, in order to verify its applicability and adaptation needs. A prototype was implemented to understand the challenges in automatizing the analysis. The methodology showed flexibility and adaptability and shows potential to be adapted to any evaluation exam.
