Avaliação da aprendizagem na Escola de Formação Técnica em Saúde Enfermeira Izabel dos Santos: revisão e adequação participativas dos instrumentos de avaliação

Abstract

This study is a project of a proposed intervention at Technical and Training Health Nurse Izabel dos Santos School/Technical School Support Foundation (Escola Técnica de Formação em Saúde Enfermeira Izabel dos Santos-ETIS/Fundação de Apoio à Escola Técnica FAETEC) in Rio de Janeiro. ETIS adopts integrated curriculum, which allows the merging of academic school knowledge with the common knowledge students already have through the integration of teaching, community service and theory-practice. This study is based upon the pedagogical concepts consolidated in the principles of the theory of Liberating Education Problematizing by Paulo Freire, and, accordingly, in the concepts of diagnostic, mediating and inclusive Assessment, whose main characteristic is to be inextricably related to the dynamics of teaching and learning, thus, perceived as the opportunity to effectively investigate and diagnose the process of (re)construction of knowledge. To accomplish that, such evaluation needs to be registered by means of evaluation instruments. This study intends to investigate how the instruments of evaluation used by ETIS follow the Learning Assessment, and, from the results obtained in this analysis, propose collective changes in order to improve the current instruments or to create new ones which reflect the principles of Learning Assessment. The methodology used will be qualitative research of descriptive nature, by means of bibliographic researh, data gathering and a case study. This study has found the current Instruments of Evaluation utilized by ETIS essentially open and subjective, and, therefore, unable to reflect the essence of Learning Assessment.Thus, this project orients the revisiting of the current instruments aiming at a mediating, inclusive and processual assessment in a way which is comprehensible both for teachers and students at ETIS.
