title: [Evaluation, teaching and learning].
abstract: These observations center on the context of development that is the evaluation process. When the approach of education shifts from teaching to learning, the object to be evaluated changes too. Not only the quantity of what has been learned must be measured, but its quality as well. The student's performance must be evaluated, particularly in situations which present problems. Evaluation is a process that begins when the school sets its objectives and shapes the image of the health professional it desires to produce. The evaluation is a culmination of that process. There are evaluation techniques that are essentially observational, reactive, and mixed. The neutrality and objectivity of tests are discussed. Techniques must be used as instruments for learning and not be ends in themselves.
