A ferramenta google forms em avaliações formativas: a eficácia de tecnologias digitais no ensino fundamental.

Abstract

The inclusion of digital technologies in the school context has been much discussed due to the various possibilities of using them for pedagogical purposes. Thus, this study aimed to present a successful experience using the Google Forms application in formative evaluations in the practice of elementary education teachers (final grades). To this end, qualitative research and exploratory action research were conducted. Ninth grade students from a municipal school in Paraíba, Brazil, participated in this study. The results showed that this application is efficient for formative evaluations as it contributes to optimizing teachers‟ time when correcting the students‟ exams, for immediately enabling individual and collective feedback from those involved in the process, in addition to reducing expenses with didactic materials used by teachers. This study is significant for highlighting the teachers‟ work diversification through a digital tool available on the web for free.
