Percepção dos alunos quanto às questões abordadas na avaliação do docente em uma instituição de ensino superior

Resumo

The systematic evaluation of the teachers‟ pedagogical practice in the course of the school year, performed by the students, is important for the teaching improvement, since this evaluation helps the teacher to investigate his/her own practice, which is essential to qualify the teachers‟ action towards a more productive teaching, more appropriate to reality and more human. At Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), the teachers are evaluated by the students at the end of every semester, using an educational performance evaluation instrument. Within this context, the objective of this study was to analyze the students‟ perception, regarding the issues addressed to the assessment tool mentioned. This qualitative, descriptive study was conducted with students of different undergraduate courses at UFG/ Campus Jataí. An individual open-ended questionnaire was used, created based on the evaluation tool, used at that institution. The collected data were organized into 12 general categories that corresponded to each of the items on the questionnaire. In this study, we believe that, in general, the students understand the questions contained on the UFG evaluation tool. By analyzing the answers obtained on the applied questionnaire, we noticed that students contribute in a better way when open-ended questions are used, as they do not express only the scores, but also the expectation towards the teachers „activities. Another aspect observed was the need for better explanation, concerning to the Course Plan items.
