Tomou-se como lócus o Colégio Catarinense, localizado no município de Florianópolis, no estado de Santa Catarina. Trata-se de uma escola particular de educação básica que pertence à Rede Jesuíta de Educação. Na perspectiva de atender ao objetivo proposto, orientou-se pela seguinte questão de pesquisa: como as práticas da gestão pedagógica podem contribuir para que a avaliação de desempenho docente se realize na perspectiva de uma avaliação formativa? Sendo a pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, a abordagem metodológica se deu na perspectiva da Pesquisa Participante, visto que envolveu a própria pesquisadora em seu trabalho como gestora pedagógica e os professores que são acompanhados por ela. Como instrumentos metodológicos, foram utilizados diários de registros, relatórios mensais, resultado da autoavaliação institucional e cartas pedagógicas. Para interpretação dos dados foram utilizados os princípios da Análise Textual Discursiva. Os aportes teóricos principais tiveram como base os estudos de Francisco Imbernón, Domingos Fernandes, Maria Celina Melchior, Gonçalo Simões, Flávia Vieira e Maria Alfredo Moreira. Os dados evidenciaram que o gestor pedagógico tem um papel fundamental junto ao corpo docente no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento de uma cultura de avaliação formativa por meio das próprias ações de orientação pedagógica exercidas na escola. Também resulta da experiência desta pesquisa no Colégio Catarinense a proposição das Cartas Pedagógicas como instrumento de autoavaliação docente, ação esta que se mostrou essencial na perspectiva de uma avaliação formativa. / This study aims to qualify the supervision for teachers through pedagogical coordination, contributing to the performance evaluation in order to be done in a formative evaluation perspective. The research took place at Colégio Catarinense, located in the city of Florianópolis in the State of Santa Catarina. It refers to a private school of primary education and it belongs to the Jesuit Education Network. In order to accomplish the aim of this study, the following statement worked as guidance: how can the practices of the pedagogical coordination contribute to the teacher’s performance evaluation in order to be done as a formative evaluation? With the qualitative nature of the study, the methodological approach includes the Participant Observation, considering that it involved the researcher itself as a pedagogical coordinator and the teachers supervised by her. The research draws upon daily records, monthly reports, institutional self-evaluation results and pedagogical letters. Discursive Text Analysis principles were applied concerning the data interpretation. The main theoretical contributions were based on studies of Francisco Imbernón, Domingos Fernandes, Maria Celina Melchior, Gonçalo Simões, Flávia Vieira and Maria Alfredo Moreira. The results emphasize that the pedagogical coordinator has a fundamental role alongside the teachers in relation to the development of a formative evaluation culture trough the pedagogical coordinator work of the school. The suggestion toward pedagogical letters as an instrument of teacher self-evaluation is also a result of this research at Colégio Catarinense and it became essential in the perspective of a formative evaluation.

The study explored factors that affect learner academic achievement in Physical Sciences in Limpopo rural secondary schools. The motivation for the research was based on the high failure in Physical Sciences in South African schools. The new Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) has brought changes in the teaching and learning of Physical Sciences such as assessment processes, methodology and new content. It was worth pointing out that the achievement of Physical Sciences learners gives an indication of the effectiveness and efficiency of Physical Sciences teaching and learning. Therefore, identifying the factors entails important issues which are of great relevance to the way Physical Sciences should be taught in schools to improve learner academic achievement. The primary question was “Which factors impact on learners’ academic achievement in Physical Sciences in Limpopo rural secondary schools?” In order to answer this question a qualitative approach and qualitative survey design were used and individual interviews were carried out with Physical Sciences teachers, principals, parents and curriculum advisors. Data was further collected through focus group interviews with Physical Sciences learners. Purposeful sampling was used to identify the participants. Data analysis in this research was aimed at giving appropriate meaning to the views of the Physical Sciences teachers, Physical Sciences learners, principals, curriculum advisors and parents on factors affecting learner academic achievement in Physical Sciences. The data was audio-recorded, transcribed and printed. The interview transcriptions were organised into themes by coding. The coded data was used to form the true analysis of the activity system by identifying the purpose of the activity in order to get clarifications. This included the context of the Physical Sciences teaching and learning and learner academic achievement. The results according to the perceptions of Physical Sciences teachers, Physical Sciences learners, principals, curriculum advisors and parents showed that the main issues of high failure rate are lack of adequate resources, teacher effectiveness, lack of motivation, high teacher-learner ratio, workload, discipline of learners, supervision of teachers, parental involvement, management and leadership skills, and appropriate teaching methods. Recommendations for practice and policy are suggested and the indication was that provision of common tasks to teachers and formation of subject committees decreases the workload. The availability of resources allows learners to do practical work and improve performance. The goal was to engage learners in challenging and stimulating tasks with appropriate help from the teachers to improve achievement. In order for the teacher to provide assistance to the learners there must be maximum teacher-learner ratio. Effective supervision ensures that teachers and learners are punctual, which will ensure maximum use of available teaching time and timely completion of the work schedules or pace setters. A smaller number of learners per class could result in improved performance in Physical Sciences. It is important for principals to instil discipline in learners. The support and value of NGOs to assist in sharing workload by carrying out experiments in secondary schools was acknowledged. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / D. Ed. (Curriculum Studies)
