Resumen

The aim of this chapter is to characterize educational reforms in Latin America over the last 25 years, and the way they reflect the role, method, and use of evaluation processes. The main theoretical and methodological tensions that are created by the development of evaluations will be reviewed, concluding with the identification of some of the challenges that are to be resolved in the future. Evaluation has followed educational reform through a number of cycles.
