Abstract

The use of digital tools was reinforced during the pandemic school lockdown, promoting pedagogical innovation. This chapter focuses on an online survey carried out from primary to high school education teachers about their students’ online assessment. This study aims to identify the digital tools and methodologies they used online and the ones teachers intend to keep in their classes, due to the advantages identified. The participants were Portuguese school teachers (n = 1,858) and data was collected from May to July 2021. Most of the teachers (84.3%) reported the use of new assessment tools and methodologies during this period and consider that they will integrate them into their face-to-face teaching practices (71.8%). Digital tools related to summative assessment are the most prevalent, but formative assessment tools are also present.
