Abstract

This article presents a systematic literature review conducted according to Prisma guidelines, using the descriptors ‘Data Envelopment Analysis’ AND ‘School Effectiveness’ in order to investigate how data envelopment analysis has been used in studies on school effectiveness. Searches were carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases for the period between 2010 and 2019, and 10 articles were selected. The findings were a predominance of the VRS output-oriented approach and a preference for two-stage procedures using statistical regression techniques to complement results. Furthermore, no uniformity was observed regarding the factors that most influence units’ performance, which may reflect the diversity of realities, cultures and populations investigated in the mapped studies.
