Avaliação como processo de ausculta

Abstract

This paper discusses the assessment process, connecting it to the act of listening. To this end, it presents the results of a survey conducted with 32 elementary school professionals in the municipalities of São Luís do Quitunde and Teotônio Vilela, Alagoas. It also highlights the problems regarding how early-grade teachers assess their students, relating them to the act of listening. Our main objective is to understand how the assessment process works. The specific objectives are to investigate how early-grade teachers in municipal public schools in the cities of São Luís do Quitunde and Teotônio Vilela perceive this topic; and to understand these teachers' perceptions of conducting assessments in teaching-learning situations. By analyzing the data obtained from the field research, it was possible to observe that, in general, assessment as a listening process is not widely used, since most teachers are still stuck with authoritarian and classificatory exams.
