A avaliação, explicitada nos normativos legais como um processo regulador do ensinoaprendizagem,
assente na recolha contínua e sistemática de informações sobre os
desempenhos dos alunos com recurso a instrumentos variados, continua a recorrer,
predominantemente, aos instrumentos convencionais - os chamados testes de papel e lápis
– realizados em datas previamente calendarizadas, perpetuando uma lógica avaliativa mais
de produtos do que de processos.
No presente estudo propusemo-nos conhecer, de um modo genérico, as conceções
relacionadas com o conceito de avaliação das aprendizagens perfilhado por um grupo de
docentes para, de entre estas, (re) conhecer práticas de avaliação formativa e inferir de que
modo o grupo utiliza esta modalidade de avaliação como forma de garantir o
desenvolvimento das aprendizagens, pelos alunos, assim como a importância que lhe
atribui, nas suas planificações e na tomada de decisão sobre a transição para novos
conteúdos temáticos, no cumprimento dos planos curriculares estabelecidos.
O trabalho desenvolvido, em forma de estudo de caso, de caráter empírico, centrou-se nas
convicções e na atuação do grupo docente responsável pela disciplina de Geografia de uma
escola da Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM), no que se refere à avaliação das
aprendizagens dos seus alunos. A recolha dos dados necessários à exploração desenvolvida
foi possibilitada com recurso: (i) à elaboração de um questionário aplicado ao grupo; (ii) à
observação naturalista de algumas das suas reuniões; (iii) à observação in loco de um
ambiente de aprendizagem; (iv) à realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas - ao docente
do ambiente de aprendizagem observado e a alguns alunos do grupo-turma; (v) à consulta
de alguns dos elementos formais de planificação do grupo e (vi) à pesquisa de outras
informações relativas à escola em estudo, disponíveis na PLACE 21 (Plataforma das
escolas de ensino não superior da RAM).
A avaliação formativa, presente nas estratégias de ensino-aprendizagem desenvolvidas em
contexto de sala de aula, não é assumida nos documentos de planificação anual do Grupo
Disciplinar (GD), sendo encarada mais como uma estratégia pedagógica subjacente ao
desenvolvimento do currículo do que como uma modalidade reconhecida de avaliação.
The evaluation, specified in the legal regulations as a regulator of the teaching-learning process, based on continuous and systematic gathering of information about the students’ performances using a range of instruments, continues to rely mostly on conventional instruments - the so-called paper and pencil tests - carried on previously scheduled dates, which keeps an evaluative logic more of products than of processes. In the present study we set out to know, in a general way, the conceptions related to the concept of learning assessment followed by a group of teachers to get to know (ackowledge), among them, formative assessment practices and infer how the group uses this type of assessment to ensure the development of learning by students, as well as the importance attached to it in their lesson plans and decision-making on the transition to new thematic contents, in compliance with the established curricula. This work, in the form of case study, assumed an empirical nature and focused on the beliefs and actions of the group of teachers responsible for teaching Geography in a School of the Madeira Autonomous Region (RAM), regarding their students learning assessment. The gathering of the necessary data to the research was made possible using: (i) the application of a questionnaire addressed to the whole group; (ii) the naturalistic observation of some of their meetings; (iii) the on-site observation of a learning environment; (iv) the implementation of semisstructured interviews; (v) the lookup of formal elements of the group planning; and (vi) the research of other information related to the school under study, available in PLACE 21 (an internet School platform). The formative assessment, present in the teaching-learning strategies developed in the classroom context, is not assumed in the annual planning documents of Geography teachers’ group, being considered more as a pedagogical strategy behind the curriculum development than as a recognized evaluation method.
