Abstract

Este artigo propõe-se a investigar: a) os determinantes do absenteísmo docente e b) seu impacto sobre o desempenho de matemática dos estudantes da 4ª série do ensino fundamental da rede estadual paulista de ensino. Utilizam-se os dados de proficiência e questionários do SARESP e dados administrativos da Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo. No primeiro exercício, mostra-se que os atributos pessoais dos professores, relacionados à sua carreira, ajudam a explicar sua decisão em faltar. Conclui-se que quanto mais estável é professor, em termos de tempo de carreira e do status ocupacional, maiores são os incentivos a faltar. Por outro lado, quanto maior o engajamento do professor na escola, menor a incidência de faltas. No segundo exercício, estima-se que 10 dias a mais de falta dos professores estão associados a uma nota em matemática 5% de um desvio-padrão abaixo da média, quando se estima o modelo por MQO. Para dar conta da eventual endogeneidade da taxa de absenteísmo do professor, utiliza-se a técnica de variáveis instrumentais, cujo instrumento é a distância da casa do professor até a escola. O instrumento utilizado parece ser capaz de isolar boa parte da endogeneidade por trás do absenteísmo docente, mas a partir desta estratégia econométrica o absenteísmo não se mostra significante para explicar o desempenho dos alunos.
