La construcción del éxito y del fracaso escolar

Synopsis of La construcción del éxito y del fracaso escolar

«La construcción del éxito y del fracaso escolar» is the essay by Philippe Perrenoud, published by Ediciones Morata in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).

For Perrenoud, without evaluation there would be no school success or failure: both are constructions by teachers when assessing their students. The school daily produces hierarchies of excellence, and each subject evaluates different aspects, with sometimes contradictory criteria. The analysis is based on observation of numerous classrooms.

Fourth edition translated by Pablo Manzano Bernárdez, in the Educación crítica collection. The work originally appeared in 1996.

Aimed at teachers, pedagogy students and education professionals interested in school evaluation and its implications.
