Avaliação da aprendizagem e ensino de Física: tensões e desafios

Abstract

School assessment is an important tool in the teaching process, as it determines the quality of the learning achieved.The present research aimed to promote analyses and reflections on the current model of school learning assessment and the role of the teacher within the educational context, specifically in the teaching of Physics. The general objective was to provide a bibliographical foundation for the research through works that address learning assessment and Physics in the Brazilian education system. The databases used consisted of books and articles with the descriptors: school learning assessment, teaching of Physics, and the social function of the teacher, aiming to correlate the variables concerning the proposed theme. Therefore, it is understood that the assessment of learning in the teaching of Physics needs to be explored in research, as well as the role of the teacher in this context. The urgency of this need is noticeable in the observation of the consequences of assessment in the face of current educational system problems and in the analysis of student motivation in the Physics discipline, in the deconstruction of the punitive notion of assessment, and in the lack of specific reflections on methodologies and didactics regarding school learning assessment.
