This study aimed to analyze the conceptions held by children aged 6 to 10 regarding learning assessment, considering its function and the feelings it evokes. The research subjects were 26 children aged 6 to 10, students in the early years of basic education. Participants were selected based on convenience, availability, and parental authorization. Data analysis was grounded in Viana (2014) regarding assessment issues and Bourdieu (1989) regarding symbolic violence. The study revealed that assessment often fails to fulfill its purpose of supporting the learning process; instead, it is reduced to an instrument of power—perceived as a form of symbolic violence—that instills negative feelings in children, even at this early stage of their schooling. We emphasize the need to build a new culture of learning assessment, one in which children understand the value of engaging in assessment processes as a means to improve their studies day by day.
