Evaluation of teaching and learning
The article presents studies on the new challenges posed to education, and it is essential to think about the evaluation model used by teachers today. Therefore, we sought to analyze the evaluation planning processes carried out in the initial grades of elementary school. The results were obtained through the use of the bibliographic research method of descriptive nature and qualitative approach, performing the analysis of contents of books and scientific articles that allowed connecting the studies and empirical perspectives of the researcher, guiding the construction of the results in three sections, which were described from this point on. In the development of the article, the evaluation of teaching and learning was analyzed, and the importance of self-assessment for the impartial educator was described; and, it was possible to understand, briefly, the adoption of participatory evaluation by objectives in the educational reality of elementary school. It was concluded that the problem of the article was answered, the general objective was reached and it was confirmed the hypothesis that any instrument used by teachers and the school to perform the evaluation, configures a way to establish levels of learning, recognize the best and the worst, and especially, adapt the teaching to the standards of excellence installed by the school. Standardized measures have diverted the democratic, critical, constructive and creative sense of evaluation, preventing the path of effective learning.
