Four critical questions on evaluation have been discussed in this paper: formal and informal evaluation; b) evaluation as a transdiscipline; c) evaluation and quality; and d) evaluation and pragmatic discernment. The aim was to contribute to the development of evaluation practices, which can provide better responses to the educational systems challenges. The discussion showed that evaluation, in the coming years will become a process with better theoretical integration and different perspectives, bringing an impact on evaluation practices. Also, the discussion has shown the importance of bringing new disciplines to be shared by the researchers.
