| Summary: | The purpose of the study was to identify the beliefs of mathematics teachers about the evaluation of student learning, taking into account their academic profile. Under a quantitative and exploratory-descriptive approach, an instrument designed in a Likert-type format was applied to inquire about teachers' beliefs about assessment. Twenty-nine Mexican mathematics teachers with different acade-mic profiles participated: engineers, graduates in computer science, applied mathematics and gradua-tes in areas related to education. It was found that, despite the fact that the participating teachers are not specifically trained to be teachers, their answers do not evidence some of the most common beliefs in the educational field; rather, they are inclined to give the evaluation process a more reflective sense in their teaching practice. However, it is concluded that the academic profile has an influence on the beliefs of interest, given that, in topics such as the types of evaluation they use and the use they give to the results of this, there were differences between each group of teachers. |
