“…It can be inferred from this result that the participants come from communities in which assessment is conceived as a testing rather than a learning tool. Our findings are in line with those of previous studies by Cheng et al (2008), Remesal and Brown (2015), and Azis (2012Azis ( , 2015 where grades were perceived as the indicator of students' success, and assessment made students so competitive that they made every attempt to obtain higher grades rather than trying to improve their learning and understanding of the subject matter. These results also are in line with the themes which emerged from most of the short stories in which assessment was conceived often as an ends that triggers maladaptive behavior such as cheating, anxiety, and prejudice, and yet rarely does it function as a means that promotes collaboration and improvement.…”

“…En coherencia con los resultados de Vandeyar y Killen (2007), Astuti Azis (2014Azis ( , 2015 llevó a cabo un estudio con un enfoque mixto destinado a conocer las concepciones y prácticas de evaluación.

“…Es asi que este campo de estudio es aún una temática de actualidad al existir investigaciones recientes realizadas en diferentes países como la de Pontes et al (2016) quienes señalan que las concepciones respecto a la evaluación de los maestros de secundaria en formación inicial de diversas especialidades están relacionadas con el enfoque innovador más próximo al constructivista. Otra investigación es la de Azis (2015), quien revela que las concepciones de los maestros respecto a la evaluación es un conflicto y considera que las políticas del estado limitan sus esfuerzos.
