O conceito de coavaliação

Abstract

Apresenta-se o conceito transdisciplinar de coavaliação, proveniente da área de Investigação em Avaliação e o seu papel emergente na Ciência de Informação e na Ciência do Cidadão. Sendo cada vez mais pertinente uma discussão em torno deste conceito, adota-se uma perspetiva de meta-avaliação, contextualizando a sua pertinência e trajetória e dando especial destaque aos contextos de desenvolvimento e transferibilidade de competências, necessários à sua implementação, Os resultados da investigação realizada, destacam o papel das competências de coavaliação agrupadas em seis dimensões: a prática reflexiva, a prática de base técnica, a análise situacional, a gestão, as competências interorganizacionais e as competências interpessoais, concluindo-se que a larga experiência da Ciência da Informação em avaliação pode constituir um fator distintivo para a discussão em torno deste conceito. This paper presents the transdisciplinary concept of co-evaluation (originated from the Evaluation Research field), as well as its emerging role in Information Science and Citizen Science. Considering the increasing relevance of discussions around this concept, we adopt a meta-evaluation perspective, contextualizing its pertinence and trajectory and giving special attention to development contexts and competences transferability, which are needed for its implementation. The research results emphasize the role of co-evaluation competences grouping them into six dimensions: reflective practice, technical-based practice, situational analysis, management, interorganizational competences and interpersonal competences, concluding that the wide experience of Information Science in evaluation may constitute a distinctive factor for the discussion around this concept.
