Estudo de uma proposta avaliativa para a disciplina de física no curso de engenharia

Abstract

Learning evaluation has been the focus of studies and numerous debates in the educational context, with increasing emphasis on a more evident approach from the perspective of only summative evaluation. However, it is verified that most of the time it has been happening in a traditional way by means of exams. In view of this, this dissertation aims to investigate the potentialities of a learning evaluation proposal, applied to a class from the Electronic Engineering course, in Physics III, from a Federal University in the Midwest region of the state of Paraná. The research has a qualitative approach, from the point of view of the objectives it is classified as descriptive and, in relation to the procedures, it is both bibliographic and observational, using for this the technique of participant observation. To compose the data we used the observation, the researcher's field diary, and the documents produced by the students during the implementation of the proposal. For the data analysis we used Bardin's inductive method of content analysis. The results evidenced that the active participation of students in the process of learning evaluation, through self-assessment, allowed students to reflect on their actions, showing positive and negative feelings, motivation to study, and commitment to fulfilling the pedagogical contract, in such a way that they became aware of their learning process, making critical inferences during this process.
