PEREIRA, Amanda Nogueira  e  FREIRE, Sandra Ferraz de Castillo Dourado. The significance of school evaluation for fourth grade children. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.44, pp.199-217. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n44.012.

This paper aims at understanding the imports of school evaluation for fourth-grade children and the relations they establish with their own learning process. Empirical research was conducted with eight children who participated in three focus group meetings, and each gave an individual interview. Results of the analyses of discursive interactions and narratives of two of them suggest that children experience many conceptions of evaluation in school practice. Although the dominant method is applying tests to confer grades, they take a critical stance as to the function of evaluation for learning itself. Complex as it is, the way in which evaluation is conducted seems to participate significantly in the construction of their feeling towards their school experience.
