This article presents evaluation as a production of meaning, especially the meaning of the essential purposes of education. It is a social polisemic practice that does not limit itself to knowledge and the teaching-learning process. It tries to comprehend the meanings of the educational phenomenon, including the issues relative to personal autonomy and to the social and public life of the subject of education and his participation in the construction of a democratic society. Special emphasis is attributed to the dynamic and participative evaluation and to the discussion of the relation between evaluation and regulation.

Keywords : Evaluation; Higher Education; Production of Meanings; Statistical Evaluation; Dynamic Evaluation; Evaluation and Regulation.
