Resumo:
Understanding that the learning assessment, while pedagogical practice, must have as main objective the assurance of the student’s learning, from the analysis of the results and decisions making coherent with each perceived reality, in which it should not be limited to the students’ training for the large-scale accomplishment of national assessments, this work aims to identify and analyze the relationship between the learning assessment performed in the classroom by teachers of the fifth grade of Elementary School and the Prova Brasil. From the choice of a case study, as a research method, it was chosen the city of São Domingos, a city from Bahia, for the achievement of the research due to the availability, interest and its national educational indexes. For the accomplishment of this research, interviews, analysis of school documents and analysis of the reference matrixes of Prova Brasil were made. As main results of the research, it was realized that the participants do not have a unified and well defined concept of the theme of competence. Also, it was realized that there are some actions and guidelines of the Municipal Department of Education to help the work in the classroom based in the competences and such actions and guidelines are under the direct influence of Prova Brasil, from the moment in which this large-scale assessment proposes to assess competences and also because there is an interest to achieve better national indexes of education. Besides such interest, there is a concern with the students’ learning, even though some misleading actions are taken in relation to the learning assessment. Specifically in relation to this educational process, the research highlighted that the learning assessment is still faced as a final of a process, in which the exam is being used frequently as an evaluation instrument and in a punctual moment. The research was concluded having in mind that the model of exam adopted by the teacher in the classroom is not the same from the tests used by the Prova Brasil and that exams have some of its questions guided in competences assessed in large-scale, in which the majority of the exams’ items are still centered in the mechanical assessment and not contextualized from the syllabus. Therefore, it was highlighted that the relationship between the learning assessment accomplished in the classroom and in the Prova Brasil is based, largely, in the syllabus that give a support to the competences approached by this assessment in large-scale and not in the assessment of competences or in the model of the evaluation instrument adopted.
