SUMMARY:

In this research, we discuss evaluation processes in teaching and learning institutions. The
motivation for this discussion reflects our observations that the evaluation processes in schools
refer to outdated theoretical-methodological positions. All too often, we still witness assessment
instruments that invest in students' memorization. We point to another direction and emphasize that
the evaluative instruments must be enabled for process analysis; that is, for the analysis of what the
student can learn and do, rather than limiting their capacity to temporarily retain content.
Furthermore, it is not uncommon for managers to assume that the development of assessment
instruments is an exclusive matter for teachers. This position signals the lack of knowledge of the
broader meaning of assessment, which implies the objective of the teaching-learning process in the
institution. We anchor our research in discussions of Vigotski's psychology, developed with
collaborators, in which the search for conceptual and methodological parameters stands out, which
capture transformations over time that translate into human development. It was the merit of this
psychology, to ascend this focus in educational scenarios, which culminated in the description of
the Zone of Proximal Development - ZDP. This zone refers to the need for educators to look at the
future time or potential of learning. We involved these questions in this research, which aimed to
investigate evaluation processes practiced in an educational institution in Maceió. The research
was of the intervention type, with the participation of students, teachers and managers. The
methodological design included different procedures: directed group study, interviews,
conversation circle and participative observation. All procedures fostered the production of
narratives written by the participants. Considering that this is an intervention research, we work
with the expectation of transforming the conceptions and methods of teachers, administrators and
students about the evaluation processes. In the results, we point out emerging processes in these
transformations.
