Concepts of evaluation among Pharmacy and Biochemistry f aculty and students at Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Paraná, Brazil

Abstract: This paper is based on an investigation of learning evaluation concepts held by faculty members and students from the school of Pharmacy (Biochemistry major) at the Universidade Estadual de Londrina. A qualitative case study allowed for analysis of the answers given to a questionnaire filled out by teachers and students and interviews with some teachers from the above-mentioned major course. Concepts of evaluation were frequently associated with educational measurement and present characteristics of classificatory evaluation, which favors quantification of students, learning with an emphasis on the transmission of program contents and knowledge memorization or role learning. The main difficulty in evaluation is the lack. of didactic and pedagogical training of teachers from the health area, who require consolidation of basic concepts in evaluation and a critical reflection by teachers and students on the pedagogical issues related to undergraduate health sciences courses.

摘要：本研究以隆德里纳州立大学（Universidade Estadual de Londrina）药学学院生物化学专业的教职工与学生所持有的学习评价理念为调查对象，采用定性案例研究方法，对师生填写的问卷作答结果以及该专业部分教师的访谈内容展开分析。研究发现，评价理念常与教育测量相关联，且具备分类评价的特征：此类评价倾向于对学生学习进行量化，侧重课程内容的传递与知识记忆或角色学习。评价工作面临的主要困境在于卫生领域教师缺乏教学法与教育学相关培训，师生均需夯实评价相关基础理念，并对卫生科学本科课程相关的教育学议题展开批判性反思。
