The emphasis put on the individual performance, on the measurable effects of the processes to be evaluated, and on the parts of the whole are elements that shock with the basic Latin American values. The school failure of considerable parcels of the Latin American population may mean a pacific resistance to acculturation, a form of "survival of the weakest". http://educa.fcc.org.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-15741980000500003&lng=es&nrm=iso&tlng=es The author discusses how the educational evaluation practices adopted in Latin America, transplanted from the United States, are inadequate to the Latin American culture.

It is anillyzed in two transactional levels: individual- environment and school-environment. The school and the environment provide evaluation instances of great incidence in the processes of identification and preservation of talents or, on the other hand, of their disregard and discouragement. Contents - There are two patterns of social interaction offered: one for each transactional leve, consisting of various elements which interact with each other in different ways depending on whethar they form a part of a stimulative or an inhibitory system of the individual's potential. Of these two patterns, only one of them is analyzed. The patterns of social interaction shown in the diagram permits the analysis of the process generating from self-perception (positive or negative), having an incidence on the affective field and showing its pertinent effects in the normative and institutional field . Methodological Proposals - An exploratory study based on "life histories" and on "analysis of anthropological files" is proposed as a basis for the elaboration of the instruments which purports to evaluate aptitudes such as: creativity, critical thinking, imagination, etc. The data regarding rational judgements and emotional reactions, which these sources provide, illustrate aspects of personality and the resources available to arrive at the gathering of knowledge, the creation of inventions, the trying out of devices to overcome environmental limitations, etc. Purpose - To provide elements for the stimulative system, so that the manifestation and the preservation of talents is facilitated. http://educa.fcc.org.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-15741980000500008&lng=es&nrm=iso&tlng=es In order to raise some questions about the problem of rural education, the author presents some preliminary data from an investigation in process in São Paulo. The research has been done in urban and rural areas of one of the most developed regions of this state. It includes the analysis of secondary data, a survey of the school population and interviews with youngsters that are out of school. The results presented show a strong association between income and school achievement, and, the perception people have of school as an essential instrument for one's entry in the labor market. The author points out to the basic request of the population: a public school that provides at least the so called functional literacy in the country and in the city. http://educa.fcc.org.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-15741980000500009&lng=es&nrm=iso&tlng=es In order to raise some questions about the problem of rural education, the author presents some preliminary data from an investigation in process in São Paulo.

It shows how, on one hand, the results are just quantitative, leaving qualitative effects with no evaluation. On the other hand, the very organization of the courses where non skilled teachers were recruited and where some formal indicators of "good" performance meant marks that teachers could use for their promotion in the teaching career - could provoke a falsification of the numbers and so threaten the validity of the results presented. http://educa.fcc.org.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-15741980000500012&lng=es&nrm=iso&tlng=es This paper analises a Brazilian adult education program (starded in 1947) in terms of the relationships between its official results and some components of its actual functioning that lead to the questioning of these results.
