However, it aims to understand conceptions about evaluation through one teacher’s perspective, as well as to describe the instruments used by them in the class and to determine their effectiveness. This research was based on a qualitative approach, of a basic nature, descriptive as to the objectives and, as to the procedures, it is part of the documentary research and field research, according to (Gerhardt & Silveira, 2009). The documents of the referred school were read to verify the facts presented and the support material of the Assessment Module, by Angolan authors and other authors who address aspects of the learning assessment. In the field research, the 6th-grade teacher of the referred school was contacted to obtain data and information necessary for the construction of the research, concerning the conception of the application of the assessment instruments. The results of this research essentially point to the need for a diversified use of instruments, to provide spaces for active participation for all students without any discrimination.
