Apoyo en la construcción de preguntas de ciencias naturales de los programas aplicados por el ICFES para la evaluación de la educación en Colombia

Abstract

The internship was held in the Instrument Production Branch of ICFES, focused on supporting the processes of construction of the questions of Natural Sciences. The student was specifically responsible for validation, feedback and review in order to specific requirments for their piloting. These three activities were carried out in the framework of an investigation / action with semi-structured interviews with teachers of grades 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, since it is vital to ensure the correspondence between the conceptual content of the questions and the degree to which they are directed, guaranteeing an evaluation based on valid criteria. In total, 1059 items of Natural Sciences were validated and revised for the programs Saber 3579 and Saber 11.
