Avaliação escolar para a emancipação do sujeito em uma sociedade diversificada e globalizada

Abstract

“Evaluation” is a persistent subject in update pedagogical discussions. The reality nowadays shows us that society is changing all the time, diversificated and globalized. We are living the information epoch and the people are following or suffering the influences from it. This monograph presents the topic of School Evaluation, giving emphasis on emancipation, as we realized a great change in the educational practice. Therefore it made use of a theoretical research based in many author’s points of view who studies about this subject. The main purpose is to analyze whether Evaluative practices nowadays are contributing to poster students knowledge, that means, to their freedom, knowledge and autonomy, or if it just makes stronger the power relationship in our current economic system. In this project I also tried to show that another kind of evaluation is possible, thus, it’s possible to take out from our educational system the evaluations based on a traditional and reduced Pedagogy. The situation about evaluation of the school system nowadays is very complicated, many problems that have deep roots in the whole educational system are inside the social system, depend on certain practices according to interests of a macro economic-social system, that we can say the problems of evaluation are not just in one subject, course, grade or school. The time we are living needs a reformulation in educational practices, to focus on education of a new individual. When we say “new” we want them to be critical, conscious and responsible, what implies that we must do an evaluation according to an emancipated perspective, that its focus in the future, that intends to change, through the criticism, self-knowledge and responsibility to make conscious decisions, leading the students to create their own path and to create their own alternatives.
