La evaluación : ¿dispositivo para promover el aprendizaje de todos o para seleccionar? : La formación de profesores en evaluación en Chile

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out about and interpret the initial training in assessment for teachers. In addition, the opinions expressed about classroom assessment and national tests by teacher education students who are reaching the end of their studies are analysed. The aim is not to evaluate the teacher education programme by judging its effectiveness or strengths and weaknesses. However, in the analysis carried out, training priorities are discussed on the basis of the conviction that it is necessary for teachers to be experienced spokespeople for national tests. In addition, teachers need to promote classroom evaluations that stimulate student development.
