Uso de business intelligence para avaliação de indicadores de desempenho na educação básica: um estudo de caso no Estado do Acre.

Abstract

In education, the massive amount of data produced annually is a critical asset to the area’s progress. And progress in this area is essential to the human, economic, and social development of a country. Decision Support Systems, in particular the ones that apply Business Intelligence (BI) techniques, have a vital role in management. These systems can translate massive amounts of information into a more straightforward and friendly language, aiding managers’ decision-making processes and information sharing within the community. With that in mind, we present a BI solution that uses interactive panels to display educational key performance indicators (KPIs). These panels contain information about primary and secondary school performance from cities in the Brazilian state of Acre. Our solution has the potential to help public managers in the evaluation of the efficiency and efficacy of public policies in education. It can also help in planning new guidelines and actions to improve performance in primary and secondary schools.
