Os exames nacionais do ensino secundário como modelo de avaliação externa

Abstract

With this reflexive work and critical analysis of our professional track we improve our teaching experience as a national secondary education exams classifier, as one of the aspects that most marked our journey. We select the national exams, specifically of the A Economy discipline, either for the impact they have on pedagogical practice, at classroom, either in the context of school organization as an element of external evaluation. We consider appropriate to reflect on the importance of exams as a means of external evaluation, not forgetting that, in teaching practice, we always had as main objectives the academic success of students and contribute to the school improvement plan. The current school is undergoing profound alterations due to organizational, technological, economic, social and cultural changes. Thus, the teacher is responsible for exercising a variety of features that make him a deeply complex professional, in order to track all the changes taking place in society. Assuming that professional development is continuous, we recognize the need for a continuous updating of knowledge that contributes to the improvement of the teaching practice. As we do the analysis of the formations performed, we had as main objective to contribute with reflections and experiences in order to share knowledge acquired. Of the formations we attend throughout life, this Master's Degree in Education Sciences has a main importance, being an opportunity to share, simply, the reflective experience of our teaching practice, according to work performed by leading educational researchers.
