Metrics for the new education: recommendation for constructing PBL indicators / Métricas para a nova educação: recomendação para a construção de indicadores PBL

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to propose recommendations for the construction of metrics applied to school projects. Hence, a systematic review of the literature, as well as an analysis of the scenario of project management pedagogy applied to high school education at three private schools in the south of Brazil, has been conducted. From the analysis of these two studies, recommendations have been made as for the development of a system of indicators for educational project management based on three dimensions: (i) maintenance of the Iron Triangle model; (ii) reliability, continuity, and an easily applicable method of measurement; and (iii) adaptability to the specifications of the educational area. As a conclusion, one identifies the need for a further study of the theme, due to the existing knowledge gap concerning the specific indicators for educational projects, since those are not limited just to the pedagogic indicators.
