An assessment program to evaluate microproject-based teaching/learning (MicroPBL) methodology on the technical subject ‘Manufacturing Technology’ was implemented for four consecutive academic years. Students from three different engineering degrees were involved providing feedback through different surveys that allowed us to perform a proper evaluation. More specifically, students’ surveys were anonymous after each academic year, except the last one, in which non-anonymous pre and post-surveys were conducted. The surveys were meant to evaluate the acquisition of specific competences (using technical questions about the subject) as well as generic competences (using questions concerning soft-skills). We also checked the students’ satisfaction with the methodology and with the signature in general. Using non-anonymous surveys allowed us to correlate results with the student’s final scores. Students’ self-assessment concerning their knowledge about technical aspects drastically changed after the course.  The average of the subject’s final score from student’s perception was slightly higher than the actual value. Student’s self-perception on soft-skills was also increased at the end of the course. The MicroPBL methodology demonstrated beneficial for the case of this technical subject as it maintained high motivation levels in students, which were directly related to students’ success rates and final scores.

O artigo apresenta uma análise sobre as possibilidades de entender a avaliação como parte central do processo de ensino/aprendizagem em História. Essa reflexão surge como produto da atividade de regência de classe pertinente à disciplina de Estágio Supervisionado em História II, na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Portanto, há nesta discussão elementos empíricos (resultados das avaliações formativas, avaliação somativa e autoavaliação da turma), que, em diálogo com referenciais teóricos, permitiram-nos tecer considerações que apontam para resultados propositivos quanto ao uso sistemático de avaliações, por meio de atividades com fontes históricas. Dessa maneira, esse trabalho estabelece uma comparação entre avaliações objetivas e formativas, demonstrando que a utilização de avaliações formativas com fontes históricas pode contribuir para um melhor processo de ensino/aprendizagem.Palavras-Chave: Estágio Supervisionado de História; Colégio de Aplicação; Avaliação; Ensino de História. AbstractThe article presents an analysis of the possibilities of understanding evaluation as a central part of the teaching/learning process in History. This reflection arises as a product of the class activity pertinent to the subject of Supervised Internship in History II, at the Federal University of Santa Catarina. Therefore, there are empirical elements in this discussion (results of formative assessments, summative assessment and self-assessment of the class), which, in dialogue with theoretical references, allowed us to make considerations that point to propositional results regarding the systematic use of assessments, through activities with historical sources. Thus, this paper establishes a comparison between objective and formative assessments, demonstrating that the use of formative assessments with historical sources can contribute to a better teaching/learning process.Keywords: Supervised History Internship; Laboratory School; Evaluation; History teaching.
