ZANARDINI, João Batista. Ontology of the evaluating act. Perspectiva [online]. 2011, vol.29, n.01, pp.97-125. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article problematizes the educational results presented either by national or by international instruments of evaluation, which refer to an alleged anachronism of the school. With the publication of these results, it comes to the surface the statement about the inefficiency of the school in assuring satisfactory conditions of teaching and learning of the subjects, attitudes and abilities that are known as necessary to a satisfactory society development. The article incorporates the ontological assumptions that base this process of “change in permanence”, that involves the reforms of the State’s system, with the imposition of the appraiser State, and the recrudescent relevance of the educational evaluation mechanisms in wide scale, mainly from 1990 on. We discuss the ontological assumptions of the evaluation process as work constituent, as well as the ontological characterization attributed to these processes by the dominant class, concluding that they are characterizations of distinct intentionalities, which is lead to distinct projects, and, therefore, have in mind distinct models of men.

Keywords : Educational Evaluation; Brazilian Basic Education; Ontology.
