Percepciones de los estudiantes de la Escuela de Educación Básica General Antonio Farfán de la Ciudad de Cuenca, respecto de la evaluación que aplican sus docentes en el proceso instructivo-formativo

Abstract

This research work deals with the perception eighth, ninth, and tenth-level students at “General Antonio Farfán” School of Basic General Education have about how their teachers evaluate them. 100 students participated. The first section of this work deals with the theoretical framework concerning educational evaluation, its importance, history, focus, types, methods, techniques, and instruments. The second part presents the methodological design used in this research. The descriptive and documentary inductive-deductive method was used in a field study which included a student survey. The third section shows an analysis of the survey results. The fourth part deals with an intervention plan related to a type of evaluation directed to the students´ comprehensive development. A relevant conclusion is that students are used to an evaluative culture, which consists in exclusively taking exams for being moved up to the next grade, this being the reason that we recommend the use of more evaluation techniques and instruments so as to contribute to the comprehensive development of the student´s personality.
