ALBERTINO, Fátima Maria De Freitas  and  SOUZA, Nadia Aparecida De. Avaliação da aprendizagem: o portfólio como auxiliar na construção de um profissional reflexivo. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2004, n.29, pp.169-190. ISSN 0103-6831.

The main concern of this study was to overcome evaluative practices that add little to the formation of the nursing professionals committed with unveiling, reflecting and overcoming the difficulties of their daily work routine. Thus, it was necessary to better understand how a new evaluation practice alters a previous conception and interferes in the formation of new professionals. For this reason, a qualitative study was developed, involving 21 students from the Nursing Assistance Administration course. For the collection of data different instruments were “used”: symbolic representation, questionnaires, portfolios, performance analysis cards, direct observation of daily activities and discussion groups for the analysis of the aspects to be improved in the professional performance. The analyses showed that evaluation as a process generated a higher level of commitment to reflecting on the practice and improvement of the work process and to overcoming issues arising in the daily routine. The results obtained allow us to state that fear gradually disappears when evaluation prioritizes the process and not only the product, that evaluation as a process is an important factor in the relation between teaching and learning and that the horizontal relationship between teacher and learner contributed to the formation of a conscious and critically well-prepared professional to make decisions.
