Abstract: This article discusses the impact of large-scale educational assessment on teaching work. It uses as an empirical reference the government actions taken in the city of Duque de Caxias/RJ, Brazil, through its Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Duque de Caxias/RJ (SMEDC), to increase the score obtained by the schools in its education network in the Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB), generated by the Brazilian Basic Education Assessment System. The objective is to explain how the SAEB implies a loss of pedagogical and administrative autonomy of the teaching work of the Municipal Education Network of Duque de Caxias/RJ. Through an analysis referenced in historical-dialectical materialism, the analysis is based on data collected through semi-structured interviews applied to a group of 18 teachers and managers of 4 schools in the Municipal Education Network of Duque de Caxias/RJ. No reaction was observed from teachers and managers regarding the impact of SAEB on the autonomy of their professional work. On the other hand, it was found that teachers and managers actively and passively consented to the actions undertaken by SMEDC to increase the performance of school units measured by IDEB, which corroborates the maintenance and expansion of the hegemony of the neoliberal perspective of public education management. It was concluded that the consent of the subjects investigated to the managerial actions of SMEDC occurs either because they do not establish any relationship between these actions and the concreteness of their pedagogical work or because, when they do establish a relationship, they consider them positive, necessary or inevitable in order to guarantee the conditions for educational financing.
