O uso de instrumentos cognitivos para pesquisa na educação infantil: limites e possibilidades no contexto brasileiro

Abstract

This paper discusses the adaptation of the iPIPS assessment for use in research with Brazilian children between the ages of four and seven. It debates the importance of having a baseline measure to assess early childhood education policy as well as the advantages of collecting high-quality information about children’s development. Not knowing how children are progressing could harm disadvantaged children and increase school inequality. The data used in the analysis was based on the pre-test of the iPIPS 2016 for mathematics and language in a total of 560 cases collected in three Brazilian cities. The preliminary analyses indicate that the items of both tests present adequate behavior, suggesting the theoretical adequacy of the items and a good adaptation and application protocol.
