The purpose of this research was to design and develop a teaching and learning module using Problem-Based Learning and Cooperative Learning (PBL-CL) and evaluate its effects on scientific creativity of pre-schoolers. The module was developed using the ADDIE instructional design model which included five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Formative evaluation was conducted to determine the reliability, content validity, pedagogical usability and pre-schoolers’ acceptability of the module, which involved five subject matter experts, 10 pre-school teachers, and 30 six-year-old pre-schoolers. The results of formative evaluation indicated an acceptable reliability, good content validity, high acceptability among the pre-schoolers, and high level of pedagogical usability. Finally, a pre- and post-test non-equivalent control group quasi experiment design was employed to determine the effects of the PBL-CL module. A total of 144 six-year-old pre-schoolers from three pre-schools were randomly assigned to PBL-CL group (n=72) and control group (n=72). The finding of Paired Sample T-test and Independent T-test established the effects of the PBL-CL module and would therefore represent a reliable, credible, and effective teaching and learning module for fostering scientific creativity among pre-schoolers. Keywords: ADDIE model, cooperative learning, teaching and learning module, pre-schoolers, problem-based learning, scientific creativity.

O curso de Medicina da UEMS adota a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas como estratégia metodológica para os módulos temáticos, agregadores da maior parte do conteúdo teórico do curso. Essa construção curricular pressupõe um currículo integrado e estratégias de avaliação somativas e formativas em sua estrutura. O presente estudo explora a função reguladora da avaliação formativa, em que a ação do professor não se limita em verificar o aprendizado, mas trabalhar com o intuito de intervir no processo de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento do pensamento do aluno sendo necessário, portanto, parâmetros avaliativos claros e norteadores, na busca de que docentes e discentes obtenham resultados similares. Para tanto e considerando a multiplicidade de conceitos e entendimentos do que é e como se deve avaliar, o objetivo deste trabalho foi a construção do que se chamam de ‘pistas de aproximação’ para o instrumento de avaliação em tutorias do curso de Medicina da UEMS, com o intuito de alicerçar o fazer pedagógico do tutor ao diminuir a subjetividade do instrumento de avaliação formativa. A estratégia utilizada pelos docentes foi a elaboração de cinco pistas de aproximação para cada um dos dez itens de avaliação do instrumento aplicado em tutoria. Acredita-se que não houve apenas a implantação de um novo sistema avaliativo nas sessões tutoriais do curso, mas um entendimento, por parte dos docentes e discentes, acerca de uma nova concepção de por que e como avaliar.Palavras-chave: Avaliação da Aprendizagem.

This curricular construction presupposes an integrated curriculum and strategies of summative and formative evaluation in its structure. The current study explores the regulatory function of formative assessment in which the teacher’s is not limited to verifying learning, but working with the intention of intervening in the learning process and development of the student's thinking, being necessary, therefore, clear and guiding evaluation parameters,  in the search so that  teachers and students  obtain similar results. For this and considering the multiplicity of concepts and understandings of what it is and how it should be evaluated, the objective of this work was the construction of what we call 'approach tracks' for the evaluation instrument in tutorials of the UEMS Medicine course,  in order to support the tutor’s pedagogical practice by reducing the subjectivity of the formative evaluation instrument. The strategy used by the teachers was the preparation of five approaches for each of the ten assessment items of the instrument applied in mentoring. It is believed that there was not only the implementation of a new evaluative system in the tutorial sessions of the UEMS Medicine course, but also an understanding by teachers and students of a new conception of why and how to evaluate.Keywords: Learning Evaluation.
