Glimpses of practice: pre-service teachers’ evaluation of students’ answers

Abstract

In initial teacher training, the contact with teaching practice is scarce, fragmented and often disjointed. Therefore, the challenge is to build tasks that constitute approaches to practice and place pre-service teachers in situations similar to the ones they will have to deal within the future. One of the tasks teachers have to perform in their practice is the evaluation of answers given by students. In this context, we developed a study in which we analyse how pre-service teachers (PST) evaluate answers given by students in solving certain tasks.
