In 2017, the LAB union organized a conference on educational evaluation and the result was a booklet: a decalogue to develop an evaluation model that takes into account the integral development of the student body. However, external studies such as the educational system or selectivity and low levels make it difficult to abandon the old schemes in daily life, nor what to say from Secondary school.

But it is being shown that it can be done in several centres, and LAB, in collaboration with UEU, has organised a second conference to count and discuss these experiences. They will be held on 8 February at the Markeskoa Palace in Eibar (UEU) in Donostia-San Sebastián.

To talk about their way of working they will approach Bizilore Active School of Azkoitia, Kattuka Arbizu, DBH of the ikastola Armentia of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Tolosaldea Lanbide Ikastetxea and Huhezi.

In the past few days we published a report in ARGIA, where we were told about the educational evaluation carried out in four educational centers. Professor Ane Sofedo speaks clearly in the report: “We think that evaluation is natural and that at most we can think about how and what to evaluate it, and the child internalizes that it has to be qualified. It goes without saying what implications it has socially, considering that to qualify is to classify students. I believe that this is the main error, that evaluation is not made, but qualification, and that this conditions the full evaluation. Because, from the moment you qualify, the minimum is what evaluation you will do next, because you have to put the note and say if you will pass the course, and without questioning it, it is useless.”
