Avaliação formativa e autoavaliação docente: contribuições para a qualificação das práticas.

Abstract

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.
