Curricular Approach of Education. Effects on Evaluation Design

AbstractThis study aims at emphasizing the pedagogical effects of curriculum paradigm, as the postmodern education theoretical and praxiological model on design and implementation of evaluation in the didactic process. Evaluation, as a main element of instruction process, besides teaching and learning, must be conceived and realized as an effect of curricular approach of education and instruction. This way of thinking leads to a certain path in evaluation projecting and realization, aspect which will be highlighted in the present study. Thus, the processual perspective on evaluation asks for reflection on the role of evaluation in the projecting and implementation of both objectives of instruction, contents, didactic methodology, projection of evaluation instruments (as products of evaluation) and the context of instruction realization
