On the 12th of July, the workshop entitled “Pedagogical Assessment: assumptions and practices” was held at the IX International Seminar of OBVIE, at the University of Porto, promoted by the Post-Doctoral researcher at CeiED Louise Lima and by Professor Cristiana Madureira (Escola Superior of Education and Social Sciences at the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal). The groups, after the discussion based on the panel “Evaluating is…”, built tasks for a formative evaluation (and, therefore, that allow learning and teaching) as a result of surprise boxes.
