Abstract

The evaluation of learning according to Schunk (2012) implies "a formal attempt to determine the status of students with respect to the educational variables of interest" (p. 14) to be able to plan, incorporate and apply the evaluation correctly, being necessary to assess educational processes. The present work is based on the investigation into sources of articles and degree works on the evaluation of learning in the area of natural sciences in secondary school students, in order to recognize how it is proposed. Everything was done under the qualitative research methodology with documentary design, where apart from relying on the theoretical references of the social constructivist model, a study was made of the official documents of the Samuel Ignacio Santamaría Technical Educational Institution of the municipality of Otanche, Boyacá, which They were the Institutional Educational Project (PEI), Institutional Student Assessment System (SIEE), area plan and classroom plan of the natural sciences to contrast them and verify their concordance. It was recognized that the pedagogical strategies for the evaluation in the study IET were mainly four: the research methodology and problem solving by projects, the practical laboratory teaching, the pedagogical essay and the written oral expression. Finally, an improvement plan is proposed, suggesting a curricular design for the natural sciences area, where, in the case of evaluation, the evaluation rubric is presented as an instrument to apply the evaluation, in an objective, transparent and correct way.
