In this dissertation, we present a qualitative investigation about assessment of learning in Differential and Integral Calculus (DIC) in Science and Mathematics courses. We did a survey about scientific production on assessment of learning in higher education from 2009 to 2013. We observed that the predominant conception of evaluation is the traditional one, which values accumulation of information and reproduction of concepts. The evaluative instruments more often used are individual written examinations. Some research shows others perspectives of evaluation, such as the formative assessment, which aims to improve learning though a process of information gathering for further reflection and action. We also investigated the assessment of learning according to teacher and student comprehension in DIC, in Science - Biology, Physics and Chemistry – and Mathematics degrees of the Unidade Universitária de Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas of the Universidade Estadual de Goiás. We verified that traditional evaluation is predominant in this institution much like the scientific production showed us, but some teachers have tried different evaluation procedures in favor of student learning. After this investigation, we analyze other evaluation proposal, apart from written examination, which emerged in published articles, theses, dissertations and books. We also considered the suggestions of teachers who participated in this study, and the impressions and proposals from students interviewed about this topic. With all this information, we planned and created pedagogical interventions with a group of Degree in Physics in this university. We utilized evaluative activities that could indicate learning problems to solve them through a teaching learning environment. We evidenced that the activities contributed to the teaching-learning process in a positive way. They caused changes in the teacher/researcher about her way of thinking and acting, and getting her to realize the importance of systematizing evaluation results to show to students and for better planning work.
