How do teachers in initial training use their didactic knowledge in the design of an experiential test to evaluate subcompetences of primary education students?

Abstract

Based on the importance of didactic knowledge in the initial training of teachers, it is necessary to know what have learned our students, after completing the degree of Teacher (Primary Education specialty). Therefore, in the context of a test written in the last subject of Didactics of Experimental Sciences (DCE), they had to design a test to assess the learning of primary school children on the subject of «Mechanical machines and devices». The results show the achievements of our intervention, but also the limitations and obstacles that they have not overcome.
