Uso del feedback como estrategia de evaluacion: aportes desde un enfoque socioconstructivista / Using feedback as evaluation strategy: contributions from a socioconstructivist approach

Abstract

This document discusses the use of feedback, from the sociocultural constructivist and situated perspective, as used as an evaluation strategy by a group of Higher Education teachers in the Practicum. Feedback is conceptualized as student assessments made by faculty that are potential aids and are distributed throughout the whole teaching and learning process. The educator helps in the adjustment and adaptation experienced by students in their educational process. This research serves as an input for Counselor educators who can use feedback as an evaluation strategy. Findings identified the use of feedback in assessment situations of the Practicum, such as: institutional analysis, planning, programming, intervention and its evaluation, elaboration of a learning portfolio, and tutoring or seminar for the preparation of the defense of the Practicum report.
