Escola e avaliação

: uma reflexão em torno da avaliação dos cursos profissionais

Abstract

The main purpose of this report is to contribute to a reflection in the field of educational evaluation of professional courses in its different components: modular assessment, within the training in the work place and within the Professional Assessment Test. Evaluation is a key component of pedagogical practice, working in a systematic and interrelated manner with all other components (Pacheco, 1994). Vocational courses, constituting a form of secondary level of education, are characterized by a strong link with the world of work, valuing themselves, the performed learning, the development of skills for the exercise of a profession. In this sense , no longer makes sense to regulate centralization of teaching in the programs of different taught subjects, with this being understood as an instrumental reference to the service of a number of structural objectives towards high levels of context to the surroundings and performance profession concrete (Gonçalves, 2008). The assessment assumes unique characteristics , because , given the modular structure of these disciplinary courses , now assumes unique contours , accompanying these features. It is, however, obvious, the need to reflect on the assessment as a whole, its fundamental concepts and assessment practices that contribute to better learning, contextualizing the intention behind enunciated, running the risk of the absence of an axis driver, which makes a visible tout cour discursive intention understanding. On the other hand , this paper, framed within the II cycle of studies in Education Administration and School Management, is assumed as the result of the work developed by the teacher Francisco António da Costa Machado de Carvalho ´s work, taking into account, in addition the constant guidelines of the Educational Project of Didáxis schools of Riba D'Ave and Vale S. Cosme , of the two schools Rules of Professional Courses and other separate legislation pertaining to the teaching career and curriculum models, in which the teacher plays or played the their professional duties during the period.
