Percepção docente e discente sobre instrumentos de avaliação da aprendizagem

Abstract

The Federal University of Ceará, as an institution inserted in a political-institutional context, has a remarkable mass of teachers and students that make up its pedagogical framework and that have several teaching and learning tools. Based on this, this work presents a study of the evaluation instruments of learning within the academic scope of the Technology Center, where there are 15 undergraduate courses, 9 master's and doctorate areas and 11 departments to which teachers and students are located. This study of the perception about the evaluation of the learning is an important tool, both for the analysis of how the learning process is taking place, and to provide the basis for a potentialization of learning through the results obtained, since in higher education this tool takes a prominent place, given the expectations that involve the professional formation of the student and its development inside and outside the University. The present study was carried out through two stages, where one consisted of the theoretical analysis, addressing several researches about the instruments of the evaluation of the learning. The second stage consisted of a research that was carried out with the teachers and students, aiming the search to analyze the traditional forms of evaluation, where it was possible to understand that the forms of evaluation of the learning, although they reach their objective, still needs a modification that aimed at quantifying student learning, showing that evaluation as a mechanical and formal instrument is not sufficient for the new demands in terms of teaching.
