L'obiettivo di questo articolo è presentare gli elementi degli approcci di valutazione che cambiano come conseguenza di un processo di innovazione educativa. A tale scopo, è stato condotto uno studio di caso multiplo in cui sette scuole in Catalogna (Spagna) che stanno implementando questa innovazione. I risultati ottenuti, attraverso l'analisi di interviste semi-strutturate e documenti acquisiti, indicano alcuni cambiamenti negli approcci di valutazione a due livelli diversi - a livello scolastico e in aula - e ciascuno con due aspetti di cambiamento: organizzativo e curricolare. Questo articolo intende presentare e discutere i risultati relativi al livello aula. L’analisi dei dati mostra un maggiore utilizzo della valutazione formativa e un maggior coinvolgimento degli studenti. Come principale conclusione, lo studio evidenzia la necessità di una riformulazione della pratica valutativa, allineandola con il nuovo processo d’insegnamento e di apprendimento che si sta sviluppando.
