EVALUATION INSTRUMENTS AND QUALITY PARAMETERS FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

The article, with a qualitative approach, deals with evaluation instruments and quality parameters for early childhood education. It is proposed to identify, describe and compare different models for assessing the quality of early childhood education, analyzing their suitability for application in the public education system of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Among the models analyzed, two showed greater theoretical and methodological coherence to the context, because they are based on access, inputs and processes and provide for the participation of the educational community. The implementation and management of an evaluation system requires an inseparability between evaluation policy and evaluation instruments through intersectionality, fostered by public policies for children to meet the quality parameters of early childhood education.
