This article aims to analyze the concept of evaluation adopted by the Latin American Laboratory for the Assessment of Quality Education (LLECE), an agency linked to the United Nations for Education, Science and Culture Organization (Unesco). The methodology consists in interpreting the documents resulting from the Laboratory activities. In order to organize the discussion, four topics are presented, starting with brief considerations on the LLECE history and organization. Then, some notes will follow on the First Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (1997), the activities of the Second Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (2007) and, finally, we will discuss the synthesis of the Third Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (2014). As a result, we observed that, in Brazil, large-scale assessment has converged with the LLECE guidelines in the last decades. A consolidation of a merit-based and managerial profile of assessment practices was also noted.
