MORAES, Dirce Aparecida Foletto de. A prova formativa na educação superior: possibilidade de regulação e autorregulação. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.58, pp.272-294. ISSN 0103-6831.

The main purpose of this article is to report the results of the investigation into the possibilities of using testing as a formative evaluation instrument, in a teacher training program in an attempt to overcome their classificatory view of testing. In these programs, it is necessary to have lived the experiences that will help the subjects to understand the use of evaluative instruments from a formative point of view. This supports regulation and self-regulation of the processes of teaching and learning, moving away from the function of only verifying what was learned and assigning a grade. This study focused on the formative function of testing, serving both the teacher and the students in rethinking and modifying their actions. The results indicate that when one understands the meaning of evaluation as a formative function, the classificatory point of view may be overcome and a new concept of evaluation formed.

Palabras clave : Formative Evaluation; Testing; Teacher Preparation; School Assessment.
