AVALIAÇÃO DA APRENDIZAGEM EM UM CURSO DE ENGENHARIA MECÂNICA: UM RELATO SOB CINCO DIMENSÕES

Abstract

This work presents an investigation on the
assessment practices conducted by teachers of a Mechanical
Engineering course, and on the consequences of these
practices in the student interaction with the educational
institution. Mechanics engineering students have been
interviewed. They reported their positive and the negative
experiences within the scholar assessment processes. The
students stories have been analyzed, and their qualitative
contents has been extracted and grouped in 5 dimensions:
pedagogical, instrumental, emotional, ethical and socioeconomic.
Some conjectures about the meaning of the results
are sketched.

Index Terms ⎯ Assessment practices, assessment processes,
engineering courses.
