Resumo

This paper aims at presenting some quantitative analysis techniques that can be potentially useful in approaching research problems in science teaching with many variables, emphasizing their concepts and meanings. The presented techniques (Internal Consistency Analysis and Variance Analysis) are exemplified through the study of the role fifteen social, economic, and cultural variables had on the performance in nine tests that were answered by 35463 candidates of the 1999 Entrance Exam to the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The study showed that the fifteen variables together could explain 34.2% of the variance in the performance of the candidates, being 19% represented by schooling variables that were independent of the socio-economic ones.
