From that point on, every year they noticed that the student-teachers struggle regarding how to assess English at the elementary school level. Since students from the Bachelor &#8220;Elementary Education with a minor in English&#8221; already take an evaluation course, researching the reasons for that weakness was key to better support our students. That is why this article presents the results of the qualitative research carried out in 2016 aiming to explore the need for designing an evaluation course taught in English and tailored to the students enrolled in the Bachelor &#8220;Elementary Education with a minor in English&#8221; at the University of Costa Rica, Western Campus. Through the use of an exploratory and phenomenological design, the researchers interviewed thirteen student-teachers, nine former students from this bachelor, an experienced elementary school teacher, and two authorities from the Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica (MEP) to obtain their perspectives about the course ED0196 &#8220;Evaluation of the Learning Process in Early Childhood and Primary Education.&#8221; Also, the syllabus of the course was analyzed based on what students must know to assess a foreign language. Data showed that although students learn about many instruments and assessment criteria, many of them are not tailored to assess English as a Foreign Language but other core subjects. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that the course ED0196 does not meet the needs of these students, and therefore, the university needs to design a course specifically tailored for them.]]></p></abstract>

A partir de ese momento, todos los años notaron que los estudiantes practicantes tenían dificultades para evaluar el inglés a nivel de escuela primaria. Dado que los estudiantes del Bachillerato en Educación Primaria con Concentración en Inglés llevan un curso de evaluación, investigar las razones de esa debilidad era clave para mejorar el apoyo a sus estudiantes. Es por esto que este artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación cualitativa llevada a cabo en el 2016 con el objetivo de explorar la necesidad de diseñar un curso de evaluación impartido en inglés y adaptado a los estudiantes de este bachillerato de la Universidad de Costa Rica, Sede de Occidente. Mediante el uso de la investigación exploratoria y fenomenológica, las investigadoras entrevistaron a trece estudiantes practicantes, nueve ex alumnos de este bachillerato, un maestro de escuela primaria con experiencia en evaluación y dos autoridades del Ministerio de Educación Pública (MEP) para obtener sus perspectivas sobre el curso ED0196 Evaluación de los Aprendizajes en Educación Inicial y Primaria. Además, el programa del curso fue analizado en función de lo que los estudiantes deben saber para evaluar un idioma extranjero. Los datos mostraron que, aunque los estudiantes aprenden sobre muchos instrumentos y criterios de evaluación, muchos de ellos no están diseñados para evaluar el inglés como lengua extranjera, sino otras materias. Con base en los hallazgos, las investigadoras concluyeron que el curso ED0196 no satisface las necesidades de los estudiantes del bachillerato y, por lo tanto, la universidad necesita diseñar un curso específicamente para ellos.]]></p></abstract>
