Abstract

It is very common for students to find challenges in the teaching-learning process, such as communication problems, the student's lack of interest or the teacher's poor working conditions. All factors can lead the student to avoid evasion. Some research shows that the methodologies and evaluative methods used in classes directly influence learning, so it is of paramount importance that during classes the teacher uses different methods to improve student performance. The objective of this article was to analyze the efficiency of different evaluation methods, used in a group of Plant Health of the Licentiate in Agricultural Sciences of the Federal University of Paraíba located in Campus III in Bananeiras-PB, during the exercise of academic monitoring. The research was carried out using data obtained during the monitoring of the discipline. Different methods were used to assess student performance. 3 activities were carried out: 1) Seminar; 2) formulation of tinctures; 3) Entomological Box. The course also had a written test. After completing the activities, the students answered a questionnaire with questions about the evaluation methodology used in the discipline and questions about the student's socio-student profile. With the results it was found that the methodology used reflected positive results for the teaching and learning of students, since the students' grades were above average, as well as the general average of the class, which added up to a total of 8.7 points. . As for the socio-student profile of the students, mostly they are part of the rural region of the state of Paraíba, most of them chose to continue their studies and it was also possible to note that the class in question has a discrepancy when it comes to the student's gender, and that the class is composed of a greater number of men The instruments used in the research made it possible to express with relevance a socio-student profile of the students who made up the public of the phytosanitary discipline and their performance, through the results found, after the application of the questionnaire.
