Avaliação da aprendizagem em matemática

Abstract

In this study, we sought to analyze teachers' knowledge of learning assessment in mathematics and what they say they do to assess their students in mathematics. To do this, we used qualitative exploratory research with public school teachers in the municipality of João Pessoa. We used face-to-face interviews and a questionnaire as a data collection tool. Renowned educational researchers such as Cipriano Carlos Luckesi and Jussara Hoffmann, who are specialists and references in learning assessment in Brazil, were used as theoretical references. Six schools were chosen from the municipal and state networks. As a result of the research, we found it difficult for teachers to understand the technical terms used in learning assessment, the importance of having compulsory subjects in degree courses that cover the assessment process ethically and focused on their respective areas of knowledge, we discussed the mistakes made by students during assessments and the mistakes made by teachers during the planning and execution of assessment processes, in addition to the negative returns of the pandemic in relation to the teaching of mathematics.
