Abstract

Learning assessment is a procedure that helps to improve the teaching-learning process. It is used to evaluate the student's ; development and requires monitoring the student at different stages of the educational process. Therefore, this study addresses the following guiding question: What are the assessment tools used by Biological Sciences teachers in public schools in the municipality of Uruçuí-PI? This topic is highly relevant, as it will provide information on the assessment tools used by these teachers in a very broad subject, full of complex and abstract concepts and interconnected processes, a fact that often ends up making it difficult to assess students, especially if they are unable to relate these concepts to their everyday lives. The aim of this research was to identify the assessment tools used by Biological Sciences teachers in public schools in the municipality of Uruçuí-PI. The methodology used is based on a quantitative, descriptive approach, with a questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The research took place in the municipality of Uruçuí - PI, and was aimed at Biological Sciences teachers in the public school system. The results show that the assessment instruments most used by teachers are: objective and dissertative written tests, objective tests, seminars and group work. It can be concluded that learning assessment is a very important tool for teaching, as it provides a broad view of how the student's; knowledge is being constructed
