JOSE, Mariana Aranha Moreira and YAMAMOTO, Marilda Prado. Rethinking evaluation: lessons from Isabel Franchi Cappelletti. e-Curriculum [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.169-182. ISSN 1809-3876. https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2015v13i1p169-182.
This article aims to rethink Educational Evaluation from the epistemological, practical and ethical perspectives, proposed by Professor Isabel Cappelleti Franchi, considering the Professor’s theoretical references and Discussions held during class 2011, understanding her ideas as a questioning and transforming and critical strengthening process. The questions: "what we do when we evaluate?", "how do we do it?" and "how we did it until now?" started reflections on the meaning of evaluation as an intentional process, without neutrality and with many ethical, political and cultural issues. The article brings reflection on the scientific rationality model: when it constituted the only way to true knowledge and when it ceased to be so. By understanding that human action is essentially subjective, the social sciences are highlighted when incorporating the true subjectivity sense. In this context, the evaluation brings the concern for personal development, particularly when the aspirations and needs of students are being considered. Teachers and students are social agents of a socio-historical and cultural processes, bonds which are strengthen during engaged and active interaction. Evaluative data emerged from practice. It is believed that to evaluate is to address value issues in education: individual, cultural and universal; internalizing them to deliberate on the possible alternatives, taking into account the need to respect the established, to always consider the situational demands and its consequences, while still, basing the actions on ethical rules and behavior. Values are built based on historical and cultural constructions just as evaluation is.
