La evaluación de las matemáticas: análisis de las pruebas escritas que se realizan en la secundaria

Math teachers still consider the written tests as the main reference of the evaluation. Different types of tasks are proposed in them intended to contrast the students learning experiences. These tasks are the focus of learning, work and effort for students to get pass. Seeking to identify the type of learning enhanced through the written tests, we have analyzed 124 written tests, drawn up by 84 secondary teachers from Bogota city. These tests contained 2483 tasks, of which 999 were considered problems by teachers that proposed them. In them it is found that cognitive demands are mostly of low or medium level.
