Avaliação da aprendizagem: percepções docente e discente do 5ª ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola pública da cidade de Bayeux

Abstract

T The theme of this final course work is “Learning Assessment in the Early Years of Primary Education in a public school”. It seeks to understand the students' and teachers' conceptions of learning assessment, as well as the assessment strategies and instruments most commonly used in everyday school life. Thus, its general objective is to analyze how teachers and students in a 5th grade class at a public school in the city of Bayeux experience and conceive of assessment processes. In order to achieve this general objective, three specific objectives were established: To identify how the teacher and students define assessment; to characterize the purposes of assessment from the teacher and student perspective; and to map the assessment strategies used in the assessment process and proposals for change. The subjects of this research were 29 students from a 5th grade class and their teacher. The methodology chosen for this work was qualitative, descriptive and field research, because it takes into account the relationship between the individual and the real world and seeks to analyze and describe their understanding of the subject under investigation. The data collection techniques chosen were semi-structured interviews with the students and a questionnaire with the teacher. Some authors were essential to support this research and lead discussions on the subject, including Christofari (2012), Chueiri (2008), Demo (2005), Freire (1996), Freitas (2014) (2016), Gil (2008), Hoffmann (2009) (2014), Luckesi (1999) (2006) (2011), Melo (2020), Rios (2007), Santanna (2004), Vasconcellos (2003), Vieira (2022) and Zabala (1998). Through this research, it was possible to see that the teachers' conception, in discourse, has a sometimes traditional, sometimes constructive bias, but the practice distances itself from this thinking, emphasizing more classificatory actions. In addition, it was noted through the statements and actions observed on a daily basis that students and teachers understand that the role of assessment is a means of classification and obtaining a grade with the aim of achieving a goal, approval.
