Abstract

The research aimed to analyze how the initial training of a Physical Education (PE) Pedagogy career in Chile addresses the issue of evaluation and what is its influence and impact on teaching action in daily practice. It is a qualitative-quantitative study of the descriptive type, using the questionnaire with closed questions, semi-structured interview and focus group as data collection instruments. 53 people participated in the research, including 29 interns, 10 professors and 14 graduates. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data using content analysis, with the help of the Nvivo 10 software. The analyzes were performed through a priori categories, including: Applicability of the evaluation at school; Evaluation in initial training; Organization of the evaluation. The results indicate that there is an incipient and fragile concept of evaluation, focused on performance and the quantitative result of learning away from school reality. It is concluded that the evaluation in the PE teacher training process at the researched university moves away from the field of practice, pointing to the need for reconfigurations in the training guidelines and, in particular, in the curricular structure that makes up the body of knowledge of the future teacher.
