Assessment of learning Mediated by Digital Technologies in the Context of Environmental Education: Teacher Training through a MOOC Course

Historically, the act of evaluating has become an exclusionary, authoritarian and anti-democratic tradition, being a classificatory and selective mechanism, centered on the educator and the teaching system, not prioritizing who learns. Therefore, we must understand that when evaluating, we need instruments that are diagnostic and guided by equity, thus allowing to provide learning that makes sense to the student, since there is no "truth", but truths that are revealed and validated according to the epistemological, methodological relationship and the current historical moment. Therefore, the present research aims to offer an educational product in a massive and open course format, known as MOOC, thus making it possible to expand the scope of the offer, but optimizing budgetary and temporality issues. The course addresses the concepts of learning assessment, its methods and the use of digital technologies, in a formative perspective in the context of Environmental Education, seeking the integration of traditional doing combined with the insertion of new environments / knowledge through an emancipatory intentionality. The research is linked to the Rio Doce School Program, which aims to provide postgraduate training for educators (teachers, managers and community representatives working in schools) working in public schools of basic education.
