Pertinencia cultural y evaluación educativa en los Altos de Chiapas. Experiencias de estudiantes y profesores sobre la prueba ENLACE

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: The cultural pertinence of the ENLACE test (National Assessment of the Academic Achievement in Educative Centers) is analyzed from the experience and vision of elementary school teachers and students in a native context: the Tsotsil-Tseltal area of Chiapas. The article evinces how children experienced the ENLACE application process and the contradictions between the contents of the test and significant elements of everyday life in a specific cultural context. Also, the teachers’ positions in favor or against the test are depicted, while highlighting the ways in which native education is stigmatized. The analysis shows that ENLACE, as an assessment tool, does not consider the native groups’ attributes regarding identity, context, culture or knowledge.
