VILLAS BOAS, Benigna Maria de Freitas. Avaliação formativa e formação de professores: ainda um desafio. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.22, pp.75-90. ISSN 1981-0431.
The article analyses the importance of formative evaluation in the whole process of teacher education so that it can be practiced in schools at all levels. We present the meaning of: teacher education as a process that includes activities in all school levels; courses that train teachers; formative evaluation. Characteristics of formative evaluation and three of its main components are discussed. It is concluded that: a) teachers learn to evaluate while they are students, a fact that justifies the need of formative evaluation at all school levels; b) feedback is a key element in formative evaluation; c) to experience the type of feedback that leads to self-monitoring, the informal evaluation that is encouraging and complements formal evaluation, and self-evaluation that places responsibility on students contribute to the autonomy of students and teachers. This view of evaluation promotes long lasting learning.
