My Opinion Counts: What Initial Teaching Training Students Think About The Use Of One Minute Papers

Initial teacher training is a key step in the pedagogical process. In this stage, different representations of teachers and evaluators are built and evaluation is presented both as content and as a professional competence. However, although a learning-oriented assessment is expected, the summative function and the hetero-assessment prevail in Higher Education, with poor participation of the individuals being assessed (future teachers) during the process. In this context, a descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted, with 41 students at a Primary Teaching program from a university located in the center-south of Chile, aiming at identifying their perceptions about the use of One-Minute Papers in order to improve learning in a specific course. The results show that the participants highly valued this experience as it facilitated active learning and time was mentioned as the main limitation.
