Abstract

VIEIRA, Vânia Maria de Oliveira  and  SOUSA, Clarilza Prado. Contribuições do Portfólio para a avaliação do aluno universitário. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.43, pp.235-255. ISSN 0103-6831.

This article is a part of a broader study aimed at investigating if the use of a Portfolio as a means of assessment in an educational environment has been changing the way of thinking about assessment in the field of teacher training. The study is based on authors involved in educational assessment and also on the Theory of Social Representations. The methodology used made possible the processing of a varied set of information. Specific analyses were conducted by means of EVOC and ALCESTE programs. The results led to the identification of three groups of students: those who approve of this assessment system, those who disapprove of it, and also those who approve of it but hold restrictions. These findings point to the need to further probe into the theoretical arguments in favor of studies involving the Portfolio, not only to make it more widely accepted, but also to promote its possible use in the future when these students/teachers develop their own practices as teachers.

Keywords : Social Representations; Curse Evaluation; Teacher Education; Higher Education.
