MOREIRA, Juliana Corrêa  and  TOMAZZETTI, Cleonice Maria. Evaluation in preschool and ongoing teacher training. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.71, pp.504-527. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.4507.

This article presents results that were gathered during a Master’s study developed using an Educational Investigative-Action (EIA) method with a group of teachers from a public institution of preschool education in the municipal school system of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. The focus of the study was the evaluation used in preschool, in order to understand its relation to the quality of the pedagogical practices of teachers who work with children less than 3 years old. In addition, the present study investigated the evaluation practices performed in that context, bearing in mind the qualification of the pedagogic practices based on reflective process generated in the teachers. The results indicate that this is a process under development in the studied context. Furthermore, the potential of evaluation for ongoing teacher training is made evident and, consequently, for the qualification of childhood educational contexts.

Keywords : Educational Evaluation; Investigative Action; Ongoing Training; Preschool Education.
