Assuming that the evaluation process in supervised training is related to a traditional pedagogical approach, this studyaimed to understand the evaluation process used in the supervised training of a nursing graduation course in the Brazilian northeasternregion. The participants encompassed four nurses, two direct supervisors and two indirect supervisors. The analysis of the empiricalmaterial used the technique of Speech Analysis and the results evidenced that the majority of the interviewed used elements of differentpedagogical approaches for the practice of the evaluation process. The observed contradictions were related to the function of the directand indirect supervisors in this process as well as the use of approaches that disregard critical, reflective and inquiring development,necessary to a socially committed professional qualification. It was concluded that there is urgent need of changes in the currentevaluation process applying pedagogical practices that foster students’ whole education, overcoming traditional trends, keeping in mindthe current health model and the required professional profile.
