GORGULHO, ANA RITA; COSTA, NILZA and SANTOS, LEONOR. CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES OF WRITING ASSESSMENT: TRAINING WORKSHOP IN SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.77, pp.421-445. Epub Jan 04, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v31i77.7667.
In this article, the concepts and reported practices of 19 Portuguese Language teachers in Sao Tome and Principe are analyzed as a starting point for a training workshop. A qualitative approach favored the content analysis of data from different sources (questionnaire, reflections in the logbook and researcher records). The main results reveal that the teaching and assessment of writing are not totally absent from the practices of these teachers. However, they are occasional and often not planned, resulting in constraints. As we believe that gaps in teacher training on evaluation influence concepts and practices, we argue that ongoing training, based on teachers’ needs, will contribute to their professional development.
