Abstract

Brazil has experienced in the last decade, a great increase in demand for Distance Learning, with the advent of the pandemic, this trend was even more accentuated with the adaptation forced by the pandemic reality to teachers, although difficult initially, contributed to a clear vision of how technological tools can provide greater assistance in the practice of their pedagogical and teaching activities to students, helping and preventing incorrect assessments during a period of physical or emotional stress, while optimizing the time dedicated to their professional activity. Using Natural Language Processing techniques to obtain the representation of knowledge from the student's pre-processed response, it was possible to obtain an accuracy between 50 and 77 per cent when compared to the grade assigned by a human evaluator and the computational system itself, simply by the evaluator providing the system a reference answer or a set of keywords or several samples of each question of what is expected to be covered within the evaluated answer.
