A avaliação educacional no ensino superior um estudo de caso na UFAL, Campus Sertão

Abstract

This work deals with learning assessment in higher education, based on the investigation and discussion of how the learning assessment process takes place at Campus Sertão, located in Delmiro Gouveia - AL. This is documentary and exploratory research. In addition to legislation and institutional documents, we use other sources to collect data, such as reports from the students and teachers of the aforementioned Campus. Initially, we sought to understand the practices of university faculty in relation to the student assessment process and how they are important for classroom dynamics, and how they can contribute to the student's professional training process. We sought to find out which assessment instruments are part of the organization of classes and the impacts of each instrument developed. To obtain the data, we used the university's institutional documents, the Law of Guidelines and Bases, data from SINAES (National Higher Education Assessment System). In addition to the documents used in the Higher Education Census, we brought more comprehensive data on higher education in Brazil. On the other hand, we sought to hear students and teachers about this teaching process through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was made available through a Google Forms form, with objective and argumentative questions seeking to understand the two aspects of this process. A survey carried out with students and teachers found that the participating teachers had pedagogical training. Students experience emotional difficulties when carrying out challenges, preferring other assessment instruments. The teacher participating in the research uses the test as the main evaluation instrument.
