LEARNING ASSESSMENT IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION II: A CASE STUDY CONDUCTED IN THREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF TENENTE LAURENTINO CRUZ, RN

Abstract

The assessment process in elementary and basic education, in general, must be flexible and responsible; that is, the assessment must be conducted qualitatively and diversely, encompassing all teaching possibilities so that student performance or lack thereof can be observed. Three municipal educational institutions were chosen to participate in the study: Senhora Santana Municipal School, Silvino Garcia do Amaral Municipal School, and Florência Maria da Conceição Municipal School. The statistical design was structured with a 3 x 6 factorial, where the first factor corresponded to the aforementioned municipal elementary schools and the second factor comprised six teachers from each of the selected institutions. One of the fundamental elements of formative assessment is feedback, which is considered the strongest incentive to improve student performance. Feedback guides the teaching-learning process, helping students understand what they have already achieved and how much further they need to go to reach their goals.
