This paper discusses the results of a study that aimed to characterize teachers’ conceptions about assessment of students’ learning in the subject of Labor Education (9th grade). The teachers came from ten state schools in Lubango (Angola). A quantitative methodology, which included a qualitative dimension of analysis, was used it consisted of a questionnaire administered to all teachers of this subject at the end of the 2017 school year. 53 questionnaires were applied, and 34 valid ones were collected. Closed-ended questions were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis; open questions were subjected to content analysis. The results show that teachers recognize the continuous dimension of assessment and its formative function, which is in accordance with national norms and the literature. However, this does not occur with regard to the importance given to content evaluation and written tests.
