Resumo(s)
Esta dissertação tem o intuito de perceber como alguns professores do ensino básico de
diferentes países entendem a avaliação formativa enquanto conceito e se a aplicam realmente,
quais os instrumentos utilizam para isso, as possíveis implicações dessa prática e se esse método
possibilita melhores resultados na aprendizagem dos seus alunos em geral.
No quadro teórico procuramos explorar o problema de pesquisa no seu contexto, de forma que
alguns conceitos de avaliação formativa fossem analisados, assim como os objetivos de estudo
pudessem ser de algum modo, fundamentados.
A metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa voltou-se para um estudo exploratório. A coleta de dados
se deu por entrevistas. O estudo contou com dez professores do ensino básico, divididos entre o
1º e 3º ciclos, localizados em seis países: Áustria, Brasil, Espanha, Irlanda, Itália e Portugal. A
análise de conteúdo realizada de forma detalhada se encontra nos Apêndices.
É possível concluir que as concepções e práticas de avaliação formativa no contexto escolar
básico deste estudo são conhecidas e utilizadas em maior ou menor grau, de acordo com o que
foi relatado pelos professores. Entretanto, a maioria dos entrevistados alega não utilizar
documentos durante a avaliação formativa, o que gera algumas dúvidas quanto a real utilização
dessa modalidade na aprendizagem.
Dessa forma, os resultados apontam para uma diversidade de informação bastante compatível
com os conceitos abordados na literatura, uma variação grande de instrumentos colocados como
de suporte para a avaliação formativa, um reconhecimento considerável das vantagens, das
consequências e dos aspetos positivos da modalidade em relação à aprendizagem de modo geral.
Todavia, alguns pontos cruciais da coleta de dados geraram contradições quanto à utilização da
“avaliação formativa” como “avaliação para as aprendizagens” na prática.
This dissertation aims to understand how some elementary school teachers from different countries understand formative assessment as a concept and if they actually apply it, which instruments they use for this, the possible implications of this practice, and whether this method enables better learning outcomes for their students in general. In the theoretical framework we tried to explore the research problem in its context, so that some concepts of formative assessment were analyzed, as well as the study objectives were somehow substantiated. The qualitative research methodology focused on an exploratory study. Data collection took place through interviews. The study included ten elementary school teachers, divided between 1st and 3rd cycles, located in six countries: Austria, Brazil, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal. The detailed content analysis can be found in the Appendices. It is possible to conclude that the conceptions and practices of formative assessment in the basic school context of this study are known and used to a greater or lesser extent, according to what was reported by the teachers. However, most of the interviewees claim not to use documents during formative assessment which generates some doubts about the real use of this modality in learning. Thus, the results point to a diversity of information quite compatible with the concepts discussed in the literature, a wide range of instruments placed as support for formative assessment, a considerable recognition of the advantages, consequences and positive aspects of this modality in relation to learning in general. However, some crucial points of data collection have generated contradictions regarding the use of the “formative assessment” as “assessment for learning” in practice.
