Minha Prova: automatizando o processo avaliativo nas escolas

Abstract

Education is still an area that lacks more support of technology to improve its processes,especially in Brazilian public schools. This paper presents a tool developed for the au-tomation of the answer sheet grading process in schools, helping teachers in this daily activity. A case study was conducted with the teachers of the state public school Ci-cero Dias based in Recife - Pernambuco, to measure the tool’s efficiency compared totraditional response card grading methods. A formal evaluation of the tool’s interfacewas also conducted to implement improvements regarding the user experience. Thepaper shows that using the tool decreases the time teachers spend grading student’s response cards, used in tests, while also providing teachers with relevant data on stu-dent performance in assessments. Finally, we conclude that the proposed tool is a powerful ally of teachers and school administrators in improving the evaluation processand the quality of life of teachers.
