Evaluation in Philosophy, teaching and political issues

Each institutionalized education reaffirms the conception of State and place that corresponds or can correspond to each member of a society. The progressive integration of the members since their childhood is made according to a set of requisites and norms, which are dominant, and try to guarantee what needs to be maintained or changed, permissively or tolerantly. The possibility of society's reproduction is spread through the social support of a cultural link (in such traditions, habits and established practices' dissemination or knowledge) but also and essentially political (as a social consolidated link). Evaluation is a procedure of normalization that combines political, cultural and educational prescriptions. It is a way of putting each of them in a normal sequence of distribution points regarding places, based on the weighting of knowledge and practices, and management of any changes of place. In this article, we analyze the political and pedagogical assumptions that usually secure the act of assessment, in the case of the institutionalized teaching of philosophy. We will also be discussing some of the perspectives that would report a creative dimension for the teaching of philosophy and its evaluation, which gives an active place for the learning of subjects, based on the individual and collective perspective.
