ARZOLA-FRANCO, David Manuel. Evaluation, Standardized Tests and Training Processes: Experiences in Secondary Schools in North of Mexico. Educación [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.50, pp.28-46. ISSN 1019-9403.  http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/1018800/educacion.201701.002.

In this research, an analysis of policies and implementation processes of testing high school students in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico is presented. The objective is aimed at understanding how these practices guide or outline the dynamics of schools, teachers and priorities of student work. The information was collected through interviews, focus groups and observation records. The results indicate that the approach that has made the assessment reinforces a school culture that favors the numerical results over the educational processes, competitiveness and individual success is exalted above solidarity and empathy. The evaluation approach embodied in the curriculum and assessment practices in classrooms is contradicted.
