CARE AND NECESSARY ACTIONS FOR THE SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF EVALUATION INSTRUMENTS (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The selection and elaboration of the instrument that will be used in the classroom is one of the great challenges that the teacher faces when evaluating the learning of his students. For this, you need to have clear, among other information, the purpose, the criteria that will be adopted and especially what to do with the information that will be collected in the evaluation process. For this reason, it is an activity that demands time and efficient planning in order to achieve the projected objectives and make the assessment fulfill its function, which is to contribute to the improvement of the teaching and learning process. The present study is an excerpt of the Master's Project in development, belonging to the Postgraduate Program in Teaching at the University of Vale do Taquari - UNIVATES/RS. It aims to know the conceptions and practices of teachers who work in the early years of elementary school on learning assessment. The methodological procedure used is qualitative/interpretative, through a case study, with the participation of six teachers from a public school; data collection will be carried out through Interview and Documentary Research techniques; data analysis will be carried out through content analysis. As for the results, we hope that the teacher realizes that the learning assessment is a guiding tool in the teaching and learning process, so some care is needed in the selection and elaboration.
