The dissertation "Assessment for Learning in the Continuing Education of Elementary School
Teachers", developed in the line of research "Formative Processes of Teachers on the
Technological Education" seeks to discuss an important point for education: Learning
Assessment on the Continuing Teacher Education. This qualitative research aims to analyze
how Elementary School Teachers are being prepared to take on the important role of
evaluators. For that, we need to discuss and reflect on the Evaluation process on the
Continuing Education of teachers, using authors such as Luckesi (2014), Hoffmann (2011),
Demo (2004), Gatti (2014), Villas Boas and Soares (2016), among others, as a knowledge
base on the subject. This research sought to answer the following question: How are teachers
in the early years of Elementary School I being prepared to assume the essential role of
evaluative teachers in the classroom? For the application of the research, we used a structured
interview as a data collection tool. The research subjects were Elementary School Teachers
that work in a public school in Manaus. The collected data was structured and interpreted
according to the Bardin's Content Analysis technique (2016), which has 3 phases: 1) Pre Analysis; 2) Exploration of the material; and 3) treatment of the results. The analysis result
indicates that teachers, after graduating from college and as they work as professors, are not
fully ready to take on the role of evaluators, because they lack theoretical elements to support
their evaluative practices, and can only rely on their experiences as students. The data also
show the need of Continuing Education on Assessment of Learning through notes made by
the interviewed teachers. With these results in mind, we proposed an Educational Product in
the form of a Workshop. This workshop aims to help the Continuing Education in Assessment
of Learning through discussion and reflection on the functions and objectives of assessment,
and with that we hope to help the training of teachers on the subject. The product born from
the research of the dissertation was subjected to an Ad-hoc commission, formed by the
participants of the research, master teachers and doctors that work in the Basic Schools and
Colleges. They made their contributions and approved the Educational Produc
