Instrumentos e práticas avaliativas na educação infantil: reflexões sobre o lugar da participação das crianças

Abstract

The evaluation of learning is conceived as a guiding dimension of the learning process and serves as a support for pedagogical (re)planning. In this article, we reflect upon assessment tools and children’s participation based on a supervised internship experience carried out at a Municipal Child Education Center (CMEI) in Manaus. This qualitative research is a descriptive and reflective study. We combined the analysis of field notes with a literature review on learning assessment in early childhood education, drawing on contributions from the Sociology of Childhood and the Pedagogy of Childhood. From this study, we understand that children’s participation in assessment contexts within schools remains a challenge for teachers, as it requires that assessment experiences reflect participatory choices and strategies that position children as co-participants.
