Resumen

La presente investigación discute algunas bondades e implicaciones de implementar la evaluación auténtica en clases de comprensión auditiva. El estudio se desarrolló en el año 2016 mediante un modelo de investigación QUAL-Quan y contó con la participación de 28 estudiantes universitarios matriculados en un curso de comprensión auditiva de una carrera de enseñanza del inglés (CEE) de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Los instrumentos de recolección de datos incluyeron planes semanales de mejora, portafolios, reuniones entre el profesor y los estudiantes, intervenciones orales y reflexiones improvisadas in situ. Los datos se validaron mediante distintos procedimientos y se analizaron por medio de categorías emergentes de la información recabada. Los hallazgos sugieren que la evaluación auténtica puede y debe ser utilizada con mayor frecuencia en las clases de comprensión auditiva. Esto, a fin de unificar la evaluación y la enseñanza, además de generar espacios para la integración de varias destrezas del idioma. El estudio genera implicaciones a nivel de teoría y práctica; asimismo, sugiere un cambio de paradigma evaluativo, reemplazando la evaluación tradicional por la de proceso, y las pruebas estandarizadas por las referenciales. No obstante, no se plantea un reemplazo radical de los exámenes escritos, sino un balance adecuado, en conjunción con otras estrategias en procura de una evaluación más fiable, más válida, más justa y más auténtica para todos los actores de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras involucrados.
