A gestão da avaliação da aprendizagem na graduação em educação a distância de uma universidade privada da grande Porto Alegre (RS)

Abstract

This research intends to analyze the evaluation and learning processes of Distance Education, in a Private University, located in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre – RS. Through a brief contextualization of Distance Education and legislation on evaluation methods, we tried to place the reader into a general panorama, and using document analysis and experience reports, we measured the evaluation processes implemented in the researched Institution, and the impact of those in the pedagogic and academic management. The results are presented under the category analysis of the different evaluation processes, and their implication on its management. We observed that to meet the increasing demand of Distance Education, is indispensable to have well-articulated processes to evaluate, in a manner that students have their results in a short time. This is the main challenge presented, since to perfect the learning evaluation process we need to humanize and personalize more and more the learning itself and its evaluation methods, not making automatic processes excessively impersonal and mechanical.
