Considering the importance of diversifying the assessment strategies and instruments that can be used in the educational process, the objective of this research is to analyze the relationship between peer assessment as a formative assessment strategy in the field of mathematics and the development of self-regulation processes of learning among students in the 1st year of high school in a course integrated with technical professional training. The research will be applied to a high school class integrated with the Automotive Maintenance Technician or in the Environmental Technician integrated high school of the IFB-Structural Campus. Peer assessment will be applied at least 4 times throughout the research period so that students can become more familiar with the assessment strategy in question. Each cycle of the activity will be divided into 7 moments, namely: Individual Activity, Peer Correction and Written Feedback, Discussion on the questions, New opportunity, Assessment of “Peer Assessment” and Self-Assessment, Teacher Correction and Individual Feedback, and Teacher Feedback provided to students collectively. In addition to the peer evaluations that will be applied, a discussion circle will be held with 8 students participating in the research to verify their perceptions and considerations about the evaluation strategies applied. An interview will also be conducted with the teacher in charge of the class. Regarding the instruments that will be used to construct the data, it is worth highlighting some such as the portfolio of the teacher-researcher containing her observations, assessment instruments developed that were applied with the students during the research, such as the activities used in the peer assessments, written productions of the students in Activities A and B, online forms for evaluating the Peer Assessment carried out and the students' self-assessment, and the recordings of the conversation circle held with the participating students and the semi-structured interview with the teacher in charge of the class. The qualitative data will be analyzed according to the content analysis proposed by Bardin. Some statistical data may also be constructed, mainly from the answers to the closed questions on the forms applied, which will be analyzed considering a descriptive analysis, relating these data to the qualitative data collected. As an initial thesis, it is argued that the use of peer assessment in high school favors the formative assessment process in the area of mathematics, as well as the development of self-regulation skills of student learning, in a collaborative environment.
