Counseling the Evaluation of the Learning Process in Secondary Education Students

Abstract

This article highlights the concerns that students of Bailen Secondary School "Maria Bellido" and Jaen Secondary School "Jabalcuz" (Spain), have about the organization and planning of the evaluation process done by teachers who are teaching all first Baccalaureate courses. To this end, it has been developed an ad hoc questionnaire that has allowed us to get to know the assessment done about the evaluation being conducted by teachers. The instrument consists of thirty-three questions, nine of which are open, being the rest closed, and have been divided into seven dimensions: 1. Evaluation concept/Teacher evaluation concept, 2. Assessment instruments, 3. Methodological Systems, 4. Relationship to the classroom, 5. Assessment time, 6. Teacher counseling and 7. Teaching skills. In general, the investigation shows that students' still have a sense of uneasiness towards the evaluation process. It is sensed, in most of the cases, as a negative influence in their academic life.
