Percepções sobre a avaliação da aprendizagem: um estudo com professores e estudantes de uma instituição de ensino no município de Uruçuí-PI

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how the learning assessment process is experienced by teachers and students at an educational institution in the municipality of Uruçuí, Piauí. The research aimed to identify the assessment practices adopted by teachers and the instruments considered most effective for monitoring students’ development. To achieve this, questionnaires with open and closed questions were administered to teachers and students, along with an extensive bibliographic review that contributed to the construction of the data collection instruments. The results showed that, although there is recognition of the importance of assessment in the educational process, traditional conceptions and practices focused only on measuring results persist. While teachers and students understand assessment as an essential tool for monitoring student development, everyday practice is still largely limited to written exams and objective tests. It is concluded that diversifying assessment strategies is necessary to strengthen the teaching-learning process, fostering deeper reflections on assessment and student performance, and contributing to a more effective pedagogical practice centered on real educational needs
