Um panorama dos resultados do Enem 2022 frente a pandemia de Covid - 19

Abstract

The understanding of a country's educational aspects is crucial for establishing goals for improving education. In Brazil, the entity responsible for promoting studies, research, and evaluations in the field of education is the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira, INEP, with the goal, among others, of analyzing the country's basic education. With the imminent impact caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, a necessary educational survey was conducted to analyze and understand the impacts of the pandemic on Brazilian education. In light of this, through exploratory data analysis of the National High School Exam, ENEM, for the years 2019 and 2022, it was possible to diagnose, in general, that the ENEM averages for 2022 did not undergo much change compared to 2019; on the contrary, they even improved slightly. What really changed was the number of registrants, which dropped drastically, the number of absentees in the exam, and those who scored zero in the essay. The new factor was the study habits questionnaire during the pandemic, where only 37% of candidates responded. However, despite the difficult situation, most students did not drop out of school, studying in a hybrid manner but requiring significant assistance from others. They also missed in-person classes. Additionally, reports about the lack of technological support, such as equipment and internet access, were numerous. Nevertheless, this did not affect the average scores of these candidates, although the majority reported feeling somewhat unprepared in the educational process
