The evaluation criteria of the wording of National Secondary Education Examination (Enem) are the constant target of questions and complaints from candidates who participate in this competition. That's because last year, with excerpts from texts recipe noodles and hymns football team received grades that were reasonable which made the correction proves a bit dubious. Thinking about it, the Ministry of Education (MEC) issued a new edict, promising a more rigorous test this year.
As of now, more than 8000 brokers, against 5000 last year, will no longer tolerate texts with excerpts deliberately disconnected with the theme and relapses of grammatical and spelling errors. Moreover, discrepancies greater than 100 points in the final correction will lead to a third - in 2012, the third correction depended on a difference correction equal to or greater than 200. Also not be accepted texts with marks that do not show full field of nonstandard language.
In the opinion of teachers, however, the problem is not only the methodology of correction, but also in the training of professionals, who often end up correcting hundreds of essays daily. Professor of English and writing in schools and pre-university courses for almost 10 years, Maria Aparecida Custodio believes that the creation of a new method of training of brokers is essential to rescue the credibility of the evidence. "There needs to be a system of training more effective, as the training throughout the year and the deployment of a contest to select teachers more apt to work," says the teacher.
For assessing teacher banking editor of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and ex-Enem broker, Arthur Menezes Osvaldo Vieira, correction Enem is treated with much informality, which can encourage the appraiser to treat Work with neglect. "Despite my coordinator at the time was very present, corrections are made in house appraiser who has access to evidence packets over the Internet. There is no way to prove whether it is even registered that the teacher is correcting the evidence," he says.
The evaluator also states that suffered pressure to correct further proof in less time and criticism of the rigor used in the correction. "My coordinator asked me to be less accurate at the time of correction. But the vast majority of evidence received, and spelling errors, I found grave errors in the syntactic organization of sentences, some even seemed Portuguese" vents.
Today, the wording of Enem brokers are instructed through an online course, which monitors and evaluates teachers in 33 different requirements. To be selected for the exam, teachers should achieve higher performance than 7 on a scale 0-10 - unlike last year, when the removal occurred only with notes below 5. The evaluators will also receive £ 3 per examination script - an increase of R $ 0.65 compared to previous editions.
More than one hundred essays per day
Maria Aparecida should be emphasized that restricted the number of essays corrected by each teacher, since "it is humanly impossible to fix more than one hundred essays a day," recurring fact in the proof of Enem she said. "Many appraisers correct more texts than they are able to improve the income at the end of the month. However, even if trained, they lose focus and compromising the quality of correction," he says.
Inep reported that there is a limit of fixes per day and that brokers receive daily, the internet, a package of 50 essays. If the broker can fix the whole package, while maintaining quality, it can receive another batch.
According Inep, training of assessors in 2013 will have 28 hours more than in 2012. Were also created this year, regional coordinators to assist in the teaching process of correction, increasing by 23 the number of coordinators. Were also selected more professional, increasing from 5600 to 2012 brokers in 8400 in 2013, and 230 to 280 supervisors in 2013. Inep also instituted a Commission of Experts to draft the Enem, composed of nine PhDs. The committee conducts studies and research on textual evaluation, aimed at contributing to the improvement of the training program for brokers.
Participant Guide
Even in the second half of August, will be published in 2013 Participant Guide, containing analyzes of essays that obtained the highest score. The guide will also deepen the general guidelines of test performance that are published in the announcement. Mastering the formal writing of the Portuguese language in a text-argumentative dissertation and concepts from various fields of knowledge with the theme count points in correcting the proof. The student must also defend a point of view by means of argument and develop a solution to the problem addressed, which respects human rights.
