O Impacto da pandemia nos processos de ensino: a importância da avaliação diagnóstica como ferramenta de acompanhamento

Abstract

The study on evaluation is always of great relevance to the educational scenario, since it is a practice that requires constant reflection and knowledge. The present research is an investigation about the indexes of the evaluations developed by the students before, during, and after the period of social isolation caused by the Covid19 pandemic, showing the importance of the evaluative conceptions, especially the diagnostic evaluation, and how to guide the pedagogical work for a more welcoming and flexible view. The main objective of this study was to analyze the results obtained in the testing evaluation of 9th grade elementary school students, in order to identify possible gaps in learning during social isolation. For this, the research assumed a quali-quantitative approach, based on the exploratory documental analysis of the school's normative documents, Political Pedagogical Project - PPP and Pedagogical Action Plan - PAP, as well as opinions and laws from the period of school closure. The results of the diagnostic evaluations were tabulated, according to the nomenclatures adopted by the institution to measure the skills. The results showed numerous weaknesses stemming from the period of remote teaching, a situation that could worsen the quality of public education and accentuate educational inequality, due to the failure to guarantee learning in a consolidated way for all students, thus resulting in the quality and right and/or equal access to education for all students. Therefore, the educational systems have a great challenge in the post-pandemic: to repair the losses caused by the school format at this juncture. This demands substantial investments in Basic Education, planning and a careful organization of pedagogical work.
