SILVA, Assis Leão da and GOMES, Alfredo Macedo. Educational evaluation: theoretical concepts and conflicts. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.71, pp.350-384. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/18222/eae.v29i71.5048.
This paper aims to conduct a theoretical discussion by revisiting, systematizing, and reflecting upon different concepts and trends in the field of educational evaluation. The historical construction of these concepts of evaluation indicates specific social and educational demands, that change the focus of educational evaluation at different times, in the field of educational evaluation. It should be stressed that, in the current context, the understanding of educational evaluation is associated with the hybridization of different concepts of evaluation. This hybridism, seen in the evaluation policies, has evidenced a moment of transition in the trends of concepts of evaluation, with important advances and retreats in the reach, objects and logic of educational evaluation. It does so by resolving agreement or conflict between the concepts of evaluation.
