Methodological guidelines in the elaboration of the evaluation tests for the end of the fundamental acquisitions stage

At the end of the fundamental acquisitions stage, respectively of the second grade, students from the Romanian educationsystem go through an evaluation process of the general and specific school competences formed in the first years ofschool. In the first part of this paper we approach some aspects and theoretical perspectives associated with docimology.Thus, we build a schematic theoretical-applicative framework, which we promote in order to facilitate a globalunderstanding of the didactic evaluation process in general and of the didactic evaluation at the level of the primaryclasses, in particular. At the same time, we approach didactic evaluation from the perspective of the current nationalcurriculum and the relevant prospective and praxiological directions in the educational activity. We highlight the absoluteneed to emphasize the interdependence relationships between the didactic project phase and the evaluation process, in thecontext of a competence-centered curriculum. Subsequently, we present validity criteria, design stages and relevantsections of some original assessment tools, which have the potential to highlight the students’ results in terms ofcompetences.
