About this Congress; Aims and Audience

Educational evaluation is a key process for understanding, improving, and transforming both teaching practices and entire educational systems. This congress aims to provide a space for meeting, reflection, and debate around the many dimensions of educational evaluation.

First and foremost, we will focus on the evaluation that teachers carry out regarding students' performance and progress — a fundamental part of everyday classroom practice. However, the scope of the congress also extends to other equally important forms of evaluation: of educational programs, teaching materials, schools, teachers, and even whole educational systems.

What all these forms of evaluation have in common is their intrinsic link to improvement. To evaluate is not merely to measure or assign grades, but to generate meaningful information that helps enhance the quality of teaching and learning processes. For this reason, we believe that evaluation and improvement are concepts that must always go hand in hand.

Who is the Congress for?

This congress is aimed at teachers at all educational levels, teacher educators, educational researchers, and university students — both undergraduate and postgraduate — who are interested in exploring evaluation as a tool for educational change and improvement.
