| Bradesco Foundation began using Questionmark™ Perception™ in 2001 to streamline the work-flow of the evaluation process, a time consuming operation in a large institution. Along the learning curve, many Perception applications were explored and added to the Foundation’s regular practices, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality and efficiency of its assessments. The assessment process, by providing valuable statistical information and analysis, is helping to further the organization’s mission of promoting social inclusion and helping disadvantaged socioeconomic groups through education and training.
Before adopting Perception, the Foundation conducted locally produced tests on 40 campuses, with supervisors travelling all over the country to administer them. Today, participants access Perception surveys, quizzes and tests via the Foundation’s internet portals. In addition to helping the foundation work far more efficiently. The switch to online assessments has helped teachers develop a new attitude to the concept and practice of assessment. Teachers write all the assessments that are then formatted by the centralized Perception team. Once stored in the central repository, the assessments can be reutilized by teachers directly.
Students -- whether digital natives or newcomers –appreciate the ease of taking tests and the availability of instant feedback. |
