The process of evaluation of students is closely linked to their teaching-learning process in schools. However, the nature of evaluation techniques in a subject depends to an extent on grades at which it is taught as well as its philosophical and methodological orientation. In lower grades, for example, the focus is more on short and descriptive questions compared to higher grades where long and explanatory questions become important. The nature of school geography is different from other subjects for it focuses mainly on the spatial dimension of reality. For learning the spatial dimension of reality of the earth, maps and globes are the key teaching tools. While most techniques of evaluation in school geography are similar to other school subjects, it also uses certain techniques for evaluating students which are generally not popular in other subjects. This paper discusses use of various techniques of evaluation in school geography. It analyses how techniques of evaluation vary with grades. It identifies those techniques of evaluation that are unique to school geography. The study informs that mapping, map reading and fieldbased exercises are generally associated with geography.

Neste trabalho, discutimos a avaliação como parte do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Até a década de 80, as provas escritas, sendo elas discursivas ou objetivas, eram o elemento central do processo de avaliação, sendo consideradas o único método para se avaliar. Porém, a partir da década de 90, a comunidade educacional começou a perceber que a avaliação deveria ir além do seu caráter classificatório passando a ser um procedimento diagnóstico e somativo. Para isso, a avaliação deve estar aliada aos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, sendo um processo bem mais abrangente denominado Ensino-Aprendizagem-Avaliação (ONUCHIC; ALLEVATO, 2011). Dessa maneira, faz-se necessário repensarmos as práticas em sala de aula e buscarmos alternativas que integrem esses três importantes mecanismos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi verificar a funcionalidade de um método de avaliação que promova a aprendizagem dos alunos. Relatamos uma experiência de avaliação realizada com alunos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental, utilizando a Avaliação por observação com intervenção imediata no ensino de Ciências aliada ao método de Resolução de problemas. Apesar desse método de avaliação ainda ser pouco utilizado, principalmente no Ensino fundamental, concluímos que é uma metodologia eficaz de avaliação que pode ser utilizada na promoção da aprendizagem, inclusive no ensino de Ciências.

Resolução de problemas.   Integrated evaluation of the teaching-learning process in science: a proposal applied to the final years of elementary school Abstract In this article, the evaluate as component of the teaching-learning process was discussed. Until the 1980s, written tests (whether discursive or objective), were the central element for the evaluation process, being considered the unique method for this purpose. However, from the 90's, the educational community realized that the evaluation should overcome its classificatory character, becoming a diagnostic and summative procedure. For this purpose, the evaluation must be connected to the teaching and learning processes, as a much more comprehensive process, namely Teaching-Learning-Assessment (Onuchic; Allevato, 2011). In this sense, it's necessary to rethink classroom practices, and look for alternatives that could integrate these three important mechanisms. In this way, the aim of the present paper was to verify the functionality of an evaluation method, which could promotes students learning. It was reported an evaluation experience with the final years of Elementary School students, using the Observation Assessment with immediate intervention in the Sciences teaching, associated to the Problem Solving method. Although this evaluation method is not largely used, mainly in Elementary School, this assessment methodology was reported as effective, which can be employed to promote learning,  including in Science teaching. Keywords: Evaluate. Teaching-Learning-Assessment. Problem Solving method.

The evaluation process is complex and extremely important in the teaching/learning process. Evaluations are constantly employed in the classroom to assist students in the learning process and to help teachers improve the teaching process. The use of active methodologies encourages students to participate in the learning process, encourages interaction with their peers, and stimulates thinking about physiological mechanisms. This study examined the performance of medical students on physiology over four semesters with and without active engagement methodologies. Four activities were used: a puzzle, a board game, a debate, and a video. The results show that engaging in activities with active methodologies before a physiology cognitive monitoring test significantly improved student performance compared with not performing the activities. We integrate the use of these methodologies with classic lectures, and this integration appears to improve the teaching/learning process in the discipline of physiology and improves the integration of physiology with cardiology and neurology. In addition, students enjoy the activities and perform better on their evaluations when they use them.

Abstract: Introduction: Considering an integrated curriculum that is guided by dialogical competence according to the National Curriculum Guidelines, the Systematized Educational Unit (UES) and the Professional Practice Unit (UPP) constitutes the curriculum of a medical course in a municipality in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is used in the UES and the problematization is used in the Professional Practice Unit as teaching methodologies, seeking an organization that leads to a training that is coherent with the public health sector and the national education scenario. The UES is the focus of this study because we observed that there are divergences among teachers regarding their role as tutors. Thus, we observed that the teaching methodology currently employed at Famema led us to some questions: Do the teachers consider themselves qualified to work with the PBL method? How do evaluations contribute to the teaching-learning process? Thus, this study aimed to analyze the teachers’ understanding of their ability to work with the PBL and the relevance of evaluations for the teaching-learning process in the UES. Method: This is an exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using a semi-structured interview with teachers who work with the 1st to 4th years in the UES of the medical course, and the selection of the participants was carried out from a non-probabilistic sample of intention, totaling 16 teachers, including four teachers of each of the first four years of the course. The analysis of the data was performed by Content Analysis in the thematic modality, which allowed the definition of two thematic axes: Challenges for teacher training and Potentials and limits of the implemented evaluation process. Results: The trajectory of the PBL in the teaching-learning process from the point of view of teachers showed us a variety of understandings. As for teacher training, weaknesses were identified in the development of the tutoring process, and that the strategies used for training need to be reviewed regarding their implementation and the inclusion of the professionals into the process. Regarding the evaluation, it was observed that the teachers demonstrate difficulties in carrying out an evaluation of the students while integrating the affective, cognitive and psychomotor dimensions. Conclusion: Therefore, regardless the time of the curriculum implementation, Permanent Education should constitute a powerful space for teacher training and process management.

The researcher aimed at investigating the effects of overcrowded classes on the teaching learning process at secondary level. By nature, this research study was descriptive so survey research design was employed and a closed ended questionnaire having twenty items related to the research problem were developed on five point Likert’s scale for the teachers (Senior Science Teachers) and the 10th grade students of government high schools from three tehsils of district Nankana Sahib. Pilot study was conducted to achieve the reasonable face and content validity and reliability, expert opinions and testretest techniques were used and 0.891 Pearson’s product moment was assured. One hundred (100) questionnaires for SSTs both males and female and 120 questionnaires for students both boys and girls were administered personally and with the help of some friends, six principals both of male and female were interviewed using structured interview schedule data collection technique and data was collected. On the basis of analysis and interpretation of data, indiscipline classes due to overcrowdings affect the teaching learning process badly; the performance of the students is not easily assessed in overcrowded classes and teachers are unable to interact with students easily in overcrowded classes were the conclusions of this research study. The researcher suggested that the government must make it possible to implement the law of recommended class size and reduce the problem by building more classrooms for the students at secondary level. Policy makers may formulate the policies for the effective assessment and evaluation process.
