Rendimento escolar: um estudo comparativo entre alunos da área urbana e da área rural em uma escola pública do Piauí

Abstract

Resumo O objetivo principal deste estudo foi comparar o rendimento escolar entre alunos do 6º ano que residem nas áreas rural e urbana de uma escola pública do Piauí. Além disso, investigaram-se as causas socioeconômicas e escolares que influenciam tal rendimento, segundo os professores e os alunos. Os dados de rendimento foram obtidos mediante registros escolares, e os fatores influenciadores de rendimento foram investigados por meio de questionários e de entrevistas. Os registros escolares apontaram que os alunos que residem em área rural possuem um menor rendimento em comparação àqueles que moram na área urbana. Esta variação estaria ligada a aspectos sociais e escolares em diferentes níveis: de aluno, de turma e de escola.

School transportation program as means to improve public education in a minor rural town in Northeastern Brazil

“…In opposition to the results obtained by Caiado and Gonçalves (2014), students residing in the countryside, attending urban schools and travelling by bus, comprise the ones who reported the most positive points. Despite in the survey by Lopes et al (2020), the rural students presented lower school performance. However, this same group also reported negative points.…”

“…Transportation is crucial to ensure the students' attendance mainly in rural areas. To Lopes et al (2020), there is a trend to rural students present lower school performance than urban students due to socioeconomic factors. Additionally, the lack or inadequate provision of school transportation services like overcrowding often adversely affect students' performance and contribute to early school leaving (CARVALHO et al, 2015;KOTOULA et al, 2017;MARTINS, 2010;SANTOS, 2010).…”

“…Still in Northeastern Brazil, Lopes et al (2020) carried out a comparative study on school performance among students from urban and rural areas. The research pointed out that students who live in the countryside perform less.…”

“…Summarizing the reviewed literature, we observe the importance of regularity and punctuality, since transport services were usually irregular and subject to delays (SANTOS, 2010). In addition, problems related to overcrowding (CARVALHO et al, 2010), seat comfort, environmental conditions, cleanliness, and vehicle conservation status were also highlighted (LOPES et al, 2020;PINHEIRO, 2013). Moreover, vehicle safety was evaluated as poor in some situations (CRUZ et al, 2010;SAKELLARIOU et al, 2017).…”

EduVizBR: A decision support system for Brazilian high school students' performance analysis

“…According to [Lopes et al 2020], several aspects can affect student performance in assessments, including the family, and classes or social strata. They can be divided into hierarchical levels organized into three distinct levels: i) at the student level, comprising personal and family aspects such as socio-demographic characteristics and family socioeconomic and cultural capital; ii) at the class level, related to aspects of the classroom (i.e., teacher characteristics, peer effects, and pedagogical styles and practices), and iii) at the school level, which encompasses factors related to the educational institution (i.e.…”
