RESUMO

The research presented for the development of this paper aimed at understanding the communication processes designed by teachers of Pedagogy courses in two universities of the Federal District, used in practices/tools/procedures to assess learning. The research methodology was developed in three phases: in the first phase, a questionnaire was given with open questions involving ideas to list the three most used assessment procedures/tools by teachers of the Pedagogy Courses of the two universities mentioned in order to verify conceptions of assessment of the potential graduates of Pedagogy, 1st semester of 2007, of the Universities of Brasilia (UnB) and Católica de Brasília (UCB). In the second phase, a narrative interview was conducted with seven teachers in the UnB and eight in the UCB, chosen for being the potential graduates in the first phase of the research. In the third phase, the pedagogic work of three UnB teachers and two UCB teachers was observed. The conclusion was that in the two universities researched pedagogues finish the course with an deep-rooted perception that assessments have to do with tests; the assessment proposed by the majority of the researched teachers is only negotiated and not made clear so that students endorse it and see it as a learning lever; seminars, considered as assessment procedures/tools, call for more investigation because they might be associated to informal assessments given that assessment criteria are not explained. It is necessary to carry out other researches about the communication process of assessments, which encompass the following aspects: subjective configuration of the classroom, pedagogical agreement, moment, form, contents and handovers. The analysis of the communication process established between teachers and students of the third phase, via assessments, indicates that the subjective configuration of the classroom qualifies the communication process and incorporates formal and informal assessments; the pedagogical agreement might evoke in the students the desire to be coresponsible for the assessments; the moment has to do with an important part of the pedagogical work and comes from the dialogue established through the practice of each teacher; form relates to the type of dialogue established through assessments whether two-phase or collaborative; contents mean the possibility of expression of the students, made available by the teachers coordination; handovers need to be explored so that the pedagogical agreement, moment, form and contents are revalidated and rescaled. It is recommended that assessments conducted in higher education classrooms become a topic to be reflected in internal pedagogical spaces of institutions in order for them to get to the classrooms in a more critical, ethical and constructive manner, because assessments are the invariant of information.
