D.Ed. / This study focuses on the problem of the lack of a culture of learning in schools of the former Department of Education and Training (DET). It is common knowledge that the culture of learning in many schools leaves much to be desired. The schools are characterised by early school dropout, an anti academic attitude, low morale among pupils and teachers, loss of time on a large scale and poor results. The purpose of this study is to analyse, describe and classify the nature of the culture of learning in schools of the former DET in parts of Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the Free State. This purpose was realised by undertaking a theoretical investigation in the first place and secondly an empirical investigation into various aspects of the culture of learning. In the theoretical investigation, which served as basis for the empirical investigation, an attempt was made to obtain clarity about the meaning of the concept 'a culture of learning'. A concept analysis indicated that 'a culture of learning' points to the disposition towards learning and the atmosphere of diligence_ or industry that develops in a school as a result of a combination of the personal characteristics of pupils, certain elements in the family, elements in the school and elements in the community. The empirical investigation consisted of visits to fourteen schools in parts of Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the Free State. Qualitative and quantitative methods were combined during the empirical investigation. During the quantitative investigation objective observation techniques were used, namely two questionnaires - one for teachers and one for pupils. During the qualitative investigation participating data collection techniques were used, namely semi-structured interviews with pupils, teachers, principals and DET officials. By combining these two procedures a clearer overall representation could be obtained of the nature of the culture of learning in schools and the validity of the eventual conclusions could be promoted by the process of triangulation. A few deductions concerning the personal characteristics of pupils, elements of the family and elements of the school are hereby presented: Prominent features of pupils that are a result of the qualitative and quantitative data and that have an inhibiting influence on the culture of learning, include: irregular school attendance and a lack of punctuality ; an inadequate language code and a limited capacity of expression ; inadequate study methods ; an inferior knowledge base or frame of reference ; the absence of a work ethic ; the presence of a passive or unconcerned attitude towards learning a lack of motivation and discipline. The investigation proved that the family structure forms the foundation on which the culture of learning at school must build. As a result of various. problems the families of a large number of pupils are not able to support the pupil in preparing for the demands of the school. These problems include: the disintegration of families ; the lack of involvement of parents ; illiteracy of parents ; inadequate facilities in the home. 3 • Prominent features of schools with a negative influence on the culture of learning that continue the vicious cycle of poor performance and failure, include: disorder and lack of discipline the ineffective functioning of the principal ; an inadequate culture of teaching/instruction ; wasting of time on a large scale ; over occupation and inadequate facilities. Many of the problems that have a negative influence on the culture of learning in schools of the former DET, are deeply embedded in the South African community. It must therefore, be accepted that the solution to the problem regarding the culture of learning in South Africa will require time, intensive attention and a change of attitude in all parties concerned, in order to be solved.

This mixed methods study investigated 5th-grade teachers' reported use of computer technology and variables that have been identified by researchers as affecting teachers' use of technology, including professional development activities, physical access to computer technology, and technical and instructional support provided for teachers. Quantitative data were collected from 80 5th-grade teachers from a Florida public school district through an online survey in which teachers reported how frequently they used and had their students use computer technology for 27 different purposes. The teachers also reported the amount of emphasis those 27 different topics received during their technology-related professional development experiences, the number of hours they participated in technology-related professional development, the number of months they participating in a technology coaching/mentoring program, the access their students had to computers in the classroom and in a one-to-one co mputing environment, and the frequency that they received technical and instructional support. Information from the school district's technology plan provided a context for the study. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with seven of the survey participants. The findings indicated that for 18 different purposes of technology, there was a significant correlation between how frequently teachers used and had their students use technology and the teacher-reported emphasis those topics received during technology related professional development. Self-reported frequency of support, student-to-computer ratio in the classroom, hours of professional development, and months of mentoring did not moderate the relationship between frequency of technology use and the content of professional development. / The relationship between having students use technology to work cooperatively or collaboratively and the reported emphasis that topic received in professional development strengthened if teachers reported that their students had access to a one-to-one computing environment. An additional finding was that the teachers' reported frequency of use of technology and reported emphasis of content of technology-related professional development leaned toward direct instruction and test preparation and leaned less toward innovative uses of technology. Implications and suggestions for future research are offered for technology integration and professional development for teachers at the elementary school level. / by Debbie Beaudry. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

The objective of this research was to analyze the learning evaluation conceptions which permeate the teaching practices of Arts teachers who work with the 8th and 9th years of elementary school, in public schools in the city of Ponta Grossa-PR. Specific objectives were: a) to identify the Arts teachers’ conceptions of learning evaluation; b) to verify whether objectives, criteria and evaluation tools used by the teachers in the evaluation practices are in agreement with their evaluation conceptions. The study was carried out based on a qualitative approach, study case, and the methodological procedures employed for data collection were: questionnaire, observation and interview. Data collected through questionnaires was organized and analyzed under the light of the Discourse of the Collective Subject – DCS, developed by Lefèvre and Lefèvre (2005), and generated DCS about conceptions and evaluation practices of the teachers who took part in the study. Classroom observations and interviews with the Arts teachers were transcribed and categorized according to the concepts of the theoretical background adopted. The historical and philosophical bases of Arts and educational evaluation were approached through the following authors: Osborne (1968), Langer (1971), Aranha and Martins (2005, 2009), Dias Sobrinho (2004) and Rodrigues (1995); on the concepts of field and habitus, Bourdieu (1998, 2007) were surveyed, as well as authors who discuss education and learning evaluation such as Saviani (1991, 2002, 2008), Mizukami (1986), Luckesi (2005, 2011), Libâneo (2005), Barbosa (1998 a 2011), Fusari and Ferraz (1999, 2001) and Hernández (2000), amongst others. Results of the study indicated that: a) Visual arts teachers are aware that Arts learning evaluation which is carried out in formative way is more suitable; b) the conception of learning evaluation present in teachers’ pedagogical practices in the schools under study revealed the existence of two evaluation postures. The first one showed that the learning evaluation is understood as a control, comparison and measurement mechanism, that is, it is a traditional, rationalist conception. The Arts teacher uses the learning evaluation as a discipline and power mechanism and the focus of evaluation is on disciplining students’ behavior rather than taking notice of the knowledge built by the student. The second posture showed that the learning evaluation is based on the formative perspective and the Arts teachers use the evaluation integrated to teaching and learning activities; c) it was also seen in the observations that the objectives, tools and evaluation criteria, when defined, are in agreement with the teacher and school evaluation conceptions; and, finally, it was observed that Arts in elementary school is still considered an accessory subject in the school curriculum rather than an area of knowledge, by most people in schools. / Este trabalho apresenta uma análise das concepções de avaliação da aprendizagem em Arte de docentes egressos do Curso de Licenciatura em Artes Visuais da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa – UEPG. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as concepções de avaliação da aprendizagem que permeiam as práticas pedagógicas de professores da disciplina de Arte, atuantes no 8º e 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental, em escolas públicas do município de Ponta Grossa/PR. Os objetivos específicos foram: a) identificar as concepções de avaliação da aprendizagem dos professores de Arte; b) verificar se os objetivos, critérios e instrumentos de avaliação utilizados pelos professores nas práticas avaliativas estão em consonância com suas concepções de avaliação. A pesquisa foi realizada numa abordagem qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, e os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados na coleta de dados foram; o questionário, a observação e a entrevista. Os dados coletados por meio de questionários foram organizados e analisados a luz do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo – DSC, desenvolvido por Lefèvre e Lefèvre (2005), e geraram os DSC sobre as concepções e práticas de avaliação dos professores pesquisados. As observações das aulas de Arte e as entrevistas com os professores de Arte foram transcritas e categorizadas conforme os conceitos do referencial teórico adotado. Utilizou-se como fundamentação teórica sobre os pressupostos históricos e filosóficos da arte e da avaliação educacional os autores: Osborne (1968), Langer (1971), Aranha e Martins (2005, 2009), Dias Sobrinho (2004) e Rodrigues (1995); sobre os conceitos de campo e habitus Bourdieu (1998, 2007) bem como de autores que discutem as concepções de educação e avaliação da aprendizagem como Saviani (1991, 2002, 2008), Mizukami (1986), Luckesi (2005, 2011), Libâneo (2005), Barbosa (1998 a 2011), Fusari e Ferraz (1999, 2001) e Hernández (2000), entre outros. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que: a) os professores de Artes Visuais tem conhecimento e clareza de que a avaliação da aprendizagem na disciplina de Arte realizada numa perspectiva formativa é a mais adequada; b) a concepção de avaliação de aprendizagem presente nas práticas pedagógicas dos professores das escolas pesquisadas revelou a existência de duas posturas avaliativas. A primeira postura observada revelou que a avaliação da aprendizagem é entendida como mecanismo de controle, de comparação e referida à medida, ou seja, é uma concepção de avaliação tradicional, racionalista. O professor de Arte utiliza a avaliação de aprendizagem como mecanismo disciplinador e de poder, ou seja, o foco da avaliação não é o conhecimento construído pelo aluno, mas muito mais o disciplinamento de seu comportamento. Na segunda postura, a avaliação da aprendizagem assenta-se na perspectiva formativa e o professor de Arte a realiza considerando a avaliação, de fato, integrada às atividades de ensino e aprendizagem; c) verificou-se nas observações, que os objetivos, instrumentos e critérios avaliativos, quando definidos, estão em consonância com a concepção de avaliação do professor e da escola; e, por fim, constatou-se que a disciplina de Arte no Ensino Fundamental ainda é considerada coadjuvante no currículo escolar pela maioria dos sujeitos das escolas, e não como um campo de conhecimento.

The qualitative nature of this multiple case study, aimed to analyze the learning evaluation process developed in subjects taught in the course and was developed from the following problem: how does the learning evaluation developed at the Distance Mathematics teaching Course – EaD can contribute to the initial instruction of teachers? The characterization of the historical background of EaD in the world and in the Brazilian context, the constitution of such model of distance teaching in UEPG and the partnership UEPG/MEC/UAB to offer graduation courses, mainly Mathematics teaching were discussed in the first chapter. The theoretical background of this study regarding educational, learning and distance learning evaluation was built on the contributions of Hadji (2001), Fernandes (2009), Brandalise (2010), Dias Sobrinho (2003), Cappelleti (2010), Kenski (2010), Valadares (2011), Sousa (1991), Silva (2010), Silva (2011), Behar and Notare (2009), Álvarez Méndez (2002) and Luckesi (2011), Okada( 2003,2006) amongst others. The methodological approach was based on Flick (2007), André (2005), Oliveira (2007) and Lüdke (1998). In order to study multiple cases, the procedure chosen was the analysis of documents as follows: The Course Pedagogical project (CPP), printed teaching material, the learning virtual environment (LVE) of the subjects selected: Instrumentation to the teaching of Mathematics II, Geometry II, Fundaments of Mathematics II and Introduction to Integral Differential calculus, together with evaluation activities, forums, tasks, questionnaires, course book and tests. The research results revealed that although the EaD teaching model has particularities in the evaluation process, the epistemological and methodological fundaments of learning evaluation are relevant for both the attendance and the distance teaching. The learning evaluation analyses showed that the implementation of a diagnostic, formative and student centered process evaluation, as proposed by the course CPP is still incipient and a great challenge for all individuals involved in the evaluation process - teachers, tutors and students – once the author/instructor teacher‟s conception of teaching and learning is usually what defines the students‟ instruction trajectory, together with the LVE organization in order to enable the construction of the mathematics knowledge by the student, and the choice of evaluation instruments. As the summative perspective with a rationalist and traditional base of learning evaluation still prevails, towards the results obtained by the students rather than the learning process, the number of drop outs and failure are significant. The weaknesses of learning evaluation processes, however, should be discussed and improved by their practitioners considering that there is a relevant social value in the offer of distance learning courses which represents the possibility of qualifying professionals to work with mathematics teaching in places where there are no higher education institutions. / Este trabalho apresenta uma análise do processo de avaliação da aprendizagem desenvolvido no curso de graduação de Licenciatura em Matemática a distância, ofertado pela Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG), em parceria com a Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB). A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, do tipo estudo de casos múltiplos, objetivou analisar o processo de avaliação da aprendizagem desenvolvido em disciplinas do curso e foi desenvolvida a partir do seguinte problema: como o processo de avaliação da aprendizagem desenvolvido na Licenciatura em Matemática - EaD pode contribuir na formação inicial dos professores? A caracterização da trajetória histórica da EaD no mundo e no contexto brasileiro, a constituição da modalidade de ensino a distância na UEPG e a parceria UEPG/MEC/UAB para oferta de cursos de graduação, em particular a Licenciatura em Matemática foi contemplada nas discussões do primeiro capítulo. A fundamentação teórica do trabalho em avaliação educacional, da aprendizagem e da aprendizagem na EaD foi construída a partir das contribuições de Hadji (2001), Fernandes (2009), Brandalise (2010), Dias Sobrinho (2003), Cappelleti (2010), Kenski (2010), Valadares (2011), Sousa (1991), Silva (2010), Silva (2011), Behar e Notare (2009), Álvarez Méndez (2002) e Luckesi (2011), Okada (2003, 2006) entre outros. O percurso metodológico foi traçado com fundamento em Flick (2007), André (2005), Oliveira (2007) e Lüdke (1998). Para o estudo dos casos múltiplos o procedimento escolhido foi a análise de documentos, entre eles: o Projeto Pedagógico do Curso (PPC), os materiais didáticos impressos, o Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA) das disciplinas selecionadas: Instrumentação para o Ensino de Matemática II, Geometria II, Fundamentos da Matemática III, Introdução ao Cálculo Diferencial e Integral, com as atividades avaliativas, fóruns, tarefas, questionários, livro texto, provas, nele contidos. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que embora a modalidade de ensino EaD tenha suas especificidades nos processos avaliativos os fundamentos epistemológicos e metodológicos da avaliação da aprendizagem são pertinentes tanto para o ensino presencial como para o a distância. As análises da avaliação da aprendizagem evidenciaram que a efetivação de uma avaliação diagnóstica, formativa e processual centrada no aluno, como explicitado no PPC do curso, é ainda insipiente e um grande desafio para todos os sujeitos envolvidos no processo avaliativo - professores, tutores e alunos - porque a concepção de ensino e aprendizagem do professor autor/formador geralmente é que define o percurso formativo dos alunos no curso, a organização do AVA a fim de propiciar construção do conhecimento matemático pelo aluno, e a escolha que faz dos instrumentos avaliativos. Como ainda prevalece a avaliação da aprendizagem numa perspectiva somativa, de base racionalista e tradicional, mais voltada aos resultados obtidos pelos alunos que ao processo de aprendizagem são expressivos os índices de evasão, desistência e reprovação dos alunos. As fragilidades nos processos de avaliação da aprendizagem, no entanto, são passíveis de discussão e aprimoramento pelos seus atores considerando que há um valor social relevante na oferta da Licenciatura a distância que é a possibilidade de formar profissionais qualificados para atuarem com o ensino de Matemática, em locais desprovidos de instituições de ensino superior.

Trabalhou-se na perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso analisando fatores intrínsecos ao ensino de Engenharia Civil da UNESP de Bauru. Com os formandos e egressos, foram utilizados questionários fechados, e com os docentes, entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Os dados obtidos foram analisados sob o foco de três categorias de análise: Formação Docente e Universidade, Mercado de Trabalho e Práticas Pedagógicas. Na análise da categoria Formação Docente e Universidade, observou-se que a melhoria da qualidade do curso, no que se refere aos aspectos humanos e didáticos, está diretamente ligada à melhoria da formação direcionada à docência, e o incentivo da universidade parece ser fundamental para promover a formação permanente do docente e a sua participação no Projeto Político Pedagógico. A análise, com foco no Mercado de Trabalho demonstrou que o mercado está em constante mudança e, portanto, o perfil do egresso deve ser repensado constantemente. A análise da categoria Práticas Pedagógicas dos docentes evidenciou que estas precisam de inovações que atendam às necessidades atuais dos formandos. De forma geral, notou-se um Projeto Político Pedagógico com alguns pontos falhos, que deve ser revisto pela instituição, principalmente no que diz respeito ao processo avaliativo. Não se pretendeu, nesta pesquisa, propor uma solução para os problemas observados no ensino de engenharia, mas oferecer subsídios para reflexões críticas...

It was worked with the perspective of qualitative research such as case study because intrinsic factors to the Civil Engineering teaching process were analyzed at UNESP University in Bauru. With the graduate and egress ones the option was to work with closed-ended questionnaires and with professors the option was to work with semi-structured interviews. Me data obtained were analysed over three categories of analysis: University and Professor's Formation, Job Market and Pedagogical Practices. For the category of analysis in University and Professor's Formation, it was observed that the improvement of the course quality in what refers to human and didactics, is directly connected to the improvement of the specific graduation, to teaching and the university encouragement seems to be fundamental to promote the Professor's permanent formation and its participation within Pedagogical Political Project. The analysis focused on the Job Market demonstred that the market is in constant change and because of that the egress profile must be constantly revised. The Pedagogical Practices category of analysis bespoke that the professors' pedagogical practices seem to need innovation to accommodate the graduate's present needs. In general, it was noticed one Pedagogical Political Project with some weak points, what must be reviewed by the Institution attentively, mainly when regarding evaluation process. This research didn't have the intention to come up with a solution to problems observed in the engineering teaching process... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

These for your time, if they are not developed within a perspective that allows the student to reflective thinking, will have only the purpose of collecting data on the student's ability of learning about a particular content type. The present work had as objective to draw an analytical overview of the evidence prepared by science teachers and students of the 9th year of elementary school public school, with the purpose of describing the profile of that evidence from the analysis of the statements of issues, as well as understand the interrelationships between what is planned by the teachers and the objectives of the checks required on your main instrument of evaluation in the light of the theoretical framework of Neus Sanmartí and Iván Marchán-Carvajal, based on the guidelines set out in the national curriculum for science education. The research is characterised as a documentary analysis and the methodology used was based on structuring of qualitative research, content analysis of statements of evidence. 15 participated in the research science teachers, who work in the ninth grade of elementary school education Publishes network. We analyzed the plans of ten professors and sixteen students applied evidence of ninth grade in the first quarter of 2016. The results showed that the test is an assessment instrument provided for at all levels of teachers, for your time, address issues on the topics: matter and energy: General and specific properties; The Atom; Chemical Reactions; Arranging chemical elements: periodic classification. Of these, the most representative categories were "matter and energy" and "atom", together, they represent about .75 of the issues analysed, that means almost 75% of all questions. Of the 66 issues analysed related to the content of matter and energy, 80.4% were grouped in the category. This means that most of the listed, reviewed here, is presented directly, not to bring any kind of contextualization, IE, are questions without context. Questions of this type do not allow the teacher to evaluate students ' scientific knowledge, because the stimulate the learning of scientific concepts and theories. Because they are directly related with the memorization of content issues do not present connection with the reality of the student. This can lead to a lack of interest on the part of the students, by discipline, since, after the completion of the evidence, the terms and concepts stored will be forgotten, because what happened was only a learning content devoid of meaning to the lives of students. / No atual contexto do ensino de Ciências, onde ainda se prioriza o acúmulo de conhecimentos científicos e a reprodução de conceitos e teorias elaborados por cientistas, a prova é considerada o instrumento mais utilizado pelos professores de Ciências para recolher dados que possibilite a eles avaliar a aprendizagem dos alunos depois de um processo de ensino. Estas por sua vez, se não forem elaboradas dentro de uma perspectiva que possibilite ao aluno o pensamento reflexivo, terão apenas a finalidade de recolher dados sobre a capacidade do aluno de memorização sobre determinado tipo de conteúdo. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo traçar um panorama analítico das provas elaboradas pelos professores de ciências e aplicadas aos alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental da Rede Pública de Ensino, com a finalidade de descrever o perfil dessas provas a partir da análise dos enunciados das questões, além de entender as inter-relações entre o que é planejado pelos professores e os objetivos das verificações exigidos em seu principal instrumento de avalição à luz do referencial teórico de Neus Sanmartí e Iván Marchán-Carvajal, baseado também nas orientações previstas nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino de Ciências. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como análise documental e a metodologia empregada foi baseada na estruturação de pesquisa qualitativa, fazendo-se uso da análise de conteúdo dos enunciados das provas. Participaram da pesquisa 15 professores de ciências, que atuam no 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental da Rede Publica de Ensino. Foram analisados os planos de dez professores e dezesseis provas aplicadas aos alunos do 9º ano no 1º bimestre de 2016. Os resultados evidenciaram que a prova é um instrumento de avaliação previsto em todos os planos dos professores, esta por sua vez, abordam questões sobre os temas: Matéria e Energia: propriedades gerais e específicas; O Átomo; Reações Químicas; Organizando os elementos químicos: a classificação periódica. Destes, as categorias mais representativas foram “Matéria e Energia” e “Átomo”, juntas, elas representam cerca de ¾ das questões analisadas, isso significa quase 75% do total de perguntas. Das 66 questões analisadas, referentes ao conteúdo de Matéria e Energia, 80,4% foram agrupadas na categoria Reprodução. Isso significa que a maioria dos enunciados, aqui analisados, é apresentada de forma direta, no sentido de não trazerem nenhum tipo de contextualização inicial, ou seja, são perguntas sem contexto. Questões deste tipo não permitem que o professor avalie os conhecimentos científicos dos alunos, pois os estimulam à memorização de conceitos e teorias científicas. Por estarem diretamente relacionadas apenas com a memorização dos conteúdos, as questões não apresentam conexão com a realidade do aluno. Isto pode gerar uma falta de interesse, por parte dos alunos, pela disciplina de Ciências, uma vez que, após a realização das provas, os termos e conceitos memorizados serão esquecidos, pois o que aconteceu foi somente uma aprendizagem de conteúdos destituída de significados para a vida dos alunos.

The exploration of the theoretical perspective was made through the selection of authors whose studies associate to the learning evaluation or to the teacher formation such as: Nóvoa (1991), Luckesi (1993), Abramowicz (1994), Sousa (1994), Abrecht (1994), Candau (1996), Freitas (1996), Demo (1999), Perrenoud (1999), Sacristán (2000), Bonniol (2001), Cappelletti (2001), Saul (2001), Vial (2001), Imbérnon (2002), among others. From the study of the State-of-art of the academic production, composed by doctorate thesis and master‟s degree dissertations about learning evaluation (2000-2007), 37 papers on learning evaluation produced in the post graduation programmes in education during the mentioned period were selected. I have elaborated a summary of each one of the found papers and, forthwith, the analysis of each dissertation and thesis considering the categories of analysis: learning evaluation in the continuous progression and cycles, learning evaluation in the public politics and learning evaluation in the scholastic practice. After this analysis, I have elaborated a synthesis-analytic study chart of each paper adopting as descriptions: identifying, objective, range, methodology, and the main contributions to the conception of learning evaluation. This research points to the accomplished investigations mostly aiming the Elementary School, but already demonstrating worries about the learning evaluation in the High School. Still, there is a tendency for the traditional learning evaluation, but also, there are works that point to a emancipated, continuous, formative proposal. The research has also mentioned Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo PUC/SP, considering its post graduation programme in Education, as having the highest number of works dedicated to the learning evaluation, fact already identified in the study of Souza in 1994 / O objetivo deste estudo foi documentar e compreender a concepção de AVALIAÇÃO DA APRENDIZAGEM veiculada na produção acadêmica de Pós-Graduação em Educação em três universidades: Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo PUC/SP, Universidade de São Paulo USP e Universidade Estadual de Campinas UNICAMP, no período de 2000 a 2007. A exploração da perspectiva teórica fez-se por meio da seleção de autores cujos estudos vinculam-se à avaliação da aprendizagem ou à formação docente como: Nóvoa (1991), Luckesi (1993), Abramowicz (1994), Sousa (1994), Abrecht (1994), Candau (1996(, Freitas (1996), Demo (1999), Perrenoud (1999), Sacristán (2000), Bonniol (2001), Cappelletti (2001), Saul (2001), Vial (2001), Imbernón (2002), entre outros. A partir do estudo do Estado da Arte da produção acadêmica, constituída de teses e dissertações de mestrado sobre avaliação da aprendizagem (2000-2007) foram selecionados 37 trabalhos sobre avaliação da aprendizagem, produzidos nos programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação, no período mencionado. Elaborei o resumo de cada um dos trabalhos encontrados, e em seguida, a análise de cada dissertação e tese a partir das categorias de análise: avaliação da aprendizagem na progressão continuada e ciclos, avaliação da aprendizagem nas políticas públicas e avaliação da aprendizagem nas práticas escolares. Depois dessa análise elaborei um quadro-síntese - estudo analítico de cada um dos trabalhos adotando como descritores: identificação, objetivos, abrangência, metodologia e principais contribuições para a concepção de avaliação da aprendizagem. A pesquisa aponta para o fato de que as investigações realizadas estão na sua maior parte voltadas ao Ensino Fundamental, mas já sinalizam preocupações com a avaliação da aprendizagem no Ensino Médio. Ainda há uma forte tendência da avaliação tradicional em aprendizagem, mas, existem trabalhos que focalizam uma proposta emancipatória, contínua, formativa. A pesquisa revelou também a Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo PUC/SP, no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação como aquela que tem maior número de trabalhos dedicados à avaliação da aprendizagem, fato esse já identificado no estudo de Sousa (1994)
