Aprendizagem Ativa | Ricardo Gudwin's Home Page O que é Aprendizagem Ativa ? Aprendizagem ativa é um termo técnico para um conjunto de práticas pedagógicas que abordam a questão da aprendizagem pelos alunos sob uma perspectiva diferente das técnicas clássicas de aprendizagem, tais como aulas discursivas, onde espera-se que o professor "ensine" e o aluno "aprenda".

Assessment Reform Group on June 16, 2010 | updated October 2, 2012 The Assessment Reform Group (ARG) has been at the forefront of challenging thinking and practice in relation to all aspects of assessment, including assessment for learning. Its aim has been to ensure that assessment policy and practice at all levels takes account of relevant research evidence. In pursuit of this aim the main targets for the Group’s activity have been policy-makers in government and its agencies. It has also worked closely with teachers, teacher organisations and local authority staff to advance understanding of the roles, purposes and impacts of assessment. While its work has now finished, its publications continue to provide ideas and insights central to the development of assessment practice.
