ABSTRACT
The present investigation tackles a methodological approach to the problem of the instrumentation in the practical classes of Human Biology of the premedical academic year in ELAM, of the formative function of the learning evaluation. The need for transformation of traditional evaluative paradigm focused on results in the cognitive sphere, for a paradigm centered on the learning process itself, on its unity between the cognitive and the affective, is the problem to be solved, framed as an objective to design a validated and reliable tool for its introduction to the practical classes of Human Biology, which guarantees a formative evaluation approach in the three dimensions of learning. This research was framed within the socio-critical research paradigm and the fundamental methods used were the systemic functional structural approach, modeling, participant observation and content analysis. The main results achieved allowed the identification of the main deficiencies in the methodological work of the group of teachers of the subject and the consequent and gradual transformation of the evaluation system of the same, in order to enhance its formative function from the delimitation of qualitative indicators, parameters and measurement criteria in the three dimensions of learning as an object of the evaluation process through a functional model adapted to a typical practical class.REFERENCES
