Revealing the meaning of assessment in competence-based education for nurse-educators

Journal Title: Revista Eletronica de Enfermagem - Year 2012, Vol 14, Issue 1

Abstract

This is a participatory, descriptive and exploratory study, using a qualitative approach. It was developed with a group of educators of a Technical Nursing Course with the objectives of understanding the meaning of learning assessment in competency-based education, establishing a reflexive process, and recognizing the beliefs and values regarding the practice of assessment. The theoretical methodological framework was based on the premises of Paulo Freire in line with the foundations of Philippe Perrenoud’s competency-based education. Data collection was performed through interviews and discussion groups. The analysis was performed simultaneously with the data collection. Five generating themes were used, whose results point to the meanings of assessment as an alliance between technical competency and affectivity, as a space for dialogue and respect, and reveal the importance of educational/assessment interventions associating the evaluation of the educational work itself and the permanent education of the professionals.
