O reflexo da avaliação da aprendizagem no ensino superior em cursos de licenciatura em matemática: um estudo bibliográfico

Abstract

Assessment is one of the main tools used in the teaching and learning process in Higher Education in Mathematics. The general objective of this work is to investigate the role of assessment in the teaching and learning process in higher education in Mathematics, aiming to understand how assessment can contribute to improving teaching and learning in this area. Now, as specific objectives: to know the types of assessment and the performance of students in higher education, to understand the techniques and teaching methodologies aimed at teacher training in the Mathematics Degree course and to understand the challenges and possibilities of assessing learning in the higher education in the Mathematics Degree course. The performance of students in this area, as well as discussing the need for a different perspective on the part of teaching professionals in relation to students, their possible difficulties and challenges in graduation, considering the use of active methodologies. As a research methodology, bibliographical research was used, which allows the researcher to present and use different published theoretical sources, such as scientific articles, periodicals, research data, among others, in order to serve as a basis for the discussions to be held, according to Gil (2008). In summary, the relevance of an assessment that considers the different skills, challenges and knowledge of students was emphasized, as well as the importance of a fair and objective assessment. This study addressed that the use of new techniques and methodologies plays a fundamental role in the classroom so that students have better performance and effective learning of content, thus contributing to the teaching- learning process, concluding that the form and type of evaluation help for better results. Therefore, assessment must be considered a fundamental tool for successful student learning, and must be carried out diligently and judiciously by teachers, not as a type of punishment and consequent increase in dropouts
