DESVINCULAÇÃO BETWEEN ASSESSMENT AND GRADING: AN ANALYSIS OF A CASE IN PHYSICS EDUCATION FOR FUTURE TEACHERS

Abstract:

This work describes a proposal for evaluation adopted with future teachers in one discipline of physics in which the assessment does not have a relationship with the grade (classification). This proposal is integrated to a broader didactic perspective that aims that pupils assume an active role in the discipline. We have as principle the notion that in pre-service teacher education the search for autonomy and responsibility for their own learning is conditioned to experiencing an environment that favors the development of self-assessment, for which grading is considered an obstacle. Tied to a broader process of education, we present the basis and the strategies for taking position and not judging pupils' knowledge, as well as the characteristics of the assessment that doesn't sanction but focus on process and is formative. We conclude presenting some these future teachers' ideas on the lived experience and a scale of the evolution of the practical assessment that guides the formative process.
