Resumen
This study aims to analyse the impact of ten dimensions of the education service process in the municipalities of São Paulo, Brazil, on students’ performance (the education service outcome) – assessed by the IDEB scores. The ten process dimensions are divided into four areas of school educational service: human resources, which covers (1) training hours, (2) academic background, and (3) teachers’ salary; capacity, which includes the (4) number of students per class and the (5) number of students per teacher; infrastructure, which covers the (6) number of computers per school and the (7) number of libraries and study rooms; and, at last, administrative practices, which includes (8) the use of nutritionists, (9) the use of teaching materials and handouts, and (10) the use of uniforms. In order to identify which of the process dimensions impact on the final IDEB scores, a multiple linear regression model was developed. The result showed that of the ten dimensions, six are in fact relevant to the quality of education service – the teachers’ academic background, teachers’ salary, the number of students per teacher, the number of computers per school, the number of libraries and study rooms, and the use of teaching materials and handouts. This conclusion is especially important because it assists in the decision of resource allocation in the field of public education, which might already be scarce. Esse estudo tem como objetivo analisar o impacto de dez dimensões de processo do serviço de educação, nos municípios de São Paulo, Brasil, sob o desempenho dos alunos (resultado do serviço) – avaliado por meio da nota do IDEB. As dez dimensões de processo são divididas em quatro áreas do serviço educacional das escolas: recursos humanos, que abrange (1) horas de treinamento, (2) formação acadêmica, e (3) salário dos professores; capacidade, que abrange (4) número de estudantes por sala e (5) número de estudantes por professor; infraestrutura, que abrange (6) número de computadores e (7) número de bibliotecas e salas de estudos; e, por fim, práticas administrativas, que abrange o (8) uso de nutricionista, o (9) uso de materiais didáticos e apostilas, e o (10) uso de uniformes. Para identificar quais das dimensões de processo impactam no resultado final do desempenho dos alunos (a nota do IDEB), um modelo de regressão foi desenvolvido. O resultado mostrou que das dez dimensões, seis são de fato relevantes para a qualidade do serviço educacional – a formação acadêmica dos professores, o salário dos professores, o número de estudantes por professor, o número de computadores, o número de biblioteca e salas de estudo, e o uso de apostilas e materiais didáticos. Essa conclusão é importante principalmente porque auxilia na decisão de alocação de recursos no campo de educação pública, que por sua vez já possui recursos escassos.
