FERREIRA, Sandra Lúcia; MARCONDES, Anamérica Prado and NOVAES, Adelina. Psychosocial indicators: a wide view of evaluation processes. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.28, n.69, pp.874-894. Epub Dec 01, 2017. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v28i69.4052.
Questions associated with the binding of relations, in which the pertinence of indicators gain meaning and legitimization such as social conditions of production, promotion, reproduction and transformation, were raised in order to present a theoretic-methodological discussion about the construction of psychosocial indicators. Adopting the theory of social representations, the study identified that its contribution to the development of educational evaluation is insufficiently explored, even if the phenomenon of social representations is suitable to assess it. In this respect, the proposal to adopt a psychosocial paradigm with the aim of elaborating evaluation indicators in the educational context was understood from a new ethos, as well as from a renewed epistemic attitude, without ignoring the necessary rigor and seriousness for the studies.
