Formative and shared assessment in the pre-service teacher education from the perspective of students and graduates

This paper presents the assessment of students and graduates of higher education (initial teacher training) on formative assessment and shared. The research was conducted with two discussion groups with students a thirdyear graduates and another for the last three years because it had given generations in one or more of their subjects this evaluation model. Both groups had men and women of all specialties taught at the School of Education. The discussion groups were conducted in the spring of 2009 and the theme of discourse analysis was done qualitative software Atlas.ti 6.0. Five are the conclusions drawn from his speeches on which we reflect: (1) Clear consensus that formative assessment helps you learn more and better; (2) consideration of the evaluation as something useful to educate; (3) the conviction that participation gives value to the model, accepting more collaborative assessment with the teacher to peer; (4) demand for consistency between discourse and educational practice teaching; and (5) request for trainning to implement anything experienced in their teaching practice, beginning with the practicum. We believe, based on the results, which must continue to deepen students’ speeches, especially in the less favorable of the model, in order to improve it. It would also be interesting to explore two new roads that indicate the analyzed speeches: to open new lines of research-action on the practicum, and contrast the networking possibilities for training.
