Abstract

Colombia pertenece al grupo de países con el menor puntaje en el componente de matemáticas de la prueba PISA del ano 2012. Registró, además, la mayor brecha de género en el puntaje de la misma prueba entre los 65 países participantes. Por tal razón, el presente documento describe y analiza el Sistema Nacional de Evaluación en Colombia para el caso específico del componente de matemáticas. De acuerdo con el análisis, se evidencia que no se están alcanzando los logros esperados del Sistema Nacional de Evaluación, pues no se observa que la estrategia de mejorar la calidad de la educación a través de la evaluación esté dando resultados positivos. La calidad no mejora en las instituciones educativas y las brechas de género no se reducen en el caso de matemáticas. ******ABSTRACT: Colombia is one of the countries with the lowest score on the mathematics component of the PISA assessment for 2012. This country also recorded the largest gender gap in the same test score among 65 participating countries. For this reason, this paper describes and analyzes the National Evaluation System in Colombia for the specific case of the mathematics component. According to the analysis, it is evident that the expected achievements of the National Evaluation System are not being reached, and it does not appear that the strategy of improving the quality of education through the evaluation is yielding positive results. Quality does not improve in educational institutions and gender gaps in mathematics are not been reduced.
