OBJECTIVE: to describe the perception of lecturers and undergraduate nursing students regarding the dialogic experience in the informal spaces and its relationship with training in health.METHOD: experiential descriptions were collected in the context of a public university in the non-metropolitan region of the state of Bahia, Brazil, using open interviews. These descriptions were analyzed according to the principles of the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty.RESULTS: it was revealed that the informal spaces contribute significantly to the construction of knowledge and professional training strengthening teaching and promoting the re-signification of the subjects' experience.CONCLUSION: it is evidenced that the dialogic experience has relevancy for rethinking the teaching-learning process in the university, such that the informal spaces should be included and valued as producers of meanings for the personal and academic life of lecturers and students, with the ability to re-signify existence.

Assessment is a regulatory and fundamental element of the teaching-learning process (Dutra et al., 2018), which in the perspective of the Assessment for Learning allows fostering the learning (Broadfoot et al., 1999). This study aimed to analyse students’ involvement and motivation in the Assessment for Learning processes and the impact on learning. The participants were 21 students of a class of the 11th grade of the Scientific- Humanistic Course of Science and Technology, with an average age of 17.23. The instruments used were focus group interviews, audio recordings of teacher feedbacks, several self and peer assessment moments and the teacher’s diary. Auto evaluation data were analyzed using descriptive measures (average and mode) and the information from pear observations, focus group interview and teacher board diary were analyzed using the content analysis procedures (Bardin, 2008).The data showed that students raised their level of involvement and motivation for the sessions, especially in the construction of the gymnastic scheme. In addition, the application of this methodology has enhanced learning in the acquisition of knowledge, as well as in the dynamics of the different groups.
