This paper approached the evaluation of professional practice in the Nursing Program at Marilia Medical School (Famema) with the purpose of analyzing the concept of evaluation of the teacher who used the Professional Practice Evaluation (PPE) with the students of the nursing program. It was a qualitative study which focused on content analysis and the identification of ambiguities in the evaluation process. It was possible to verify that the teacher's evaluation concept of PPE was very close to the dialogic competence approach that articulates and integrates results, attributes and context in distinct situations with different ways of carrying out essential tasks in the nurse's education. However, there are contradictions about evaluation among teachers and these contradictions must be constantly revised.
