The COVID-19 pandemic forced a large section of Peruvian universities to design systems for emergency virtual education. This required professors to quickly learn how to use teaching platforms, digital tools and a wide range of technological skills. In this context, it is remarkable that formative assessment may have been the pedagogical action with the greatest number of challenges, tensions and problems, due to the lack of preparation of many professors to apply performance tests and provide effective feedback. Given this, it is presumed that these insufficiencies (previously exhibited in face-to-face education) were transferred to virtual classrooms in the framework of the health emergency. A survey study was carried out on 240 students from a private university in Lima to find out their perceptions and preferences regarding the tests that their professors administered in the virtual classrooms. It was found that the students were assessed, for the most part, with multiple choice tests. In addition, it was found that the students recognized that the essay tests were the most important for their education, but they preferred multiple choice tests. Finally, it was found that law school students were mostly assessed with essay tests and psychology students with oral tests.

This article presents the results of an analytical and bibliometric study on the Peruvian Journal of Educational Research of the Peruvian Society for Peruvian Educational Research (SIEP). We worked on the basis of 75 articles published in this journal and the data was processed through the Google Scholar report, to obtain a profile according to the following bibliometric indicators: authors, gender of the authors, belonging to the SIEP, nationality, institution from which they come, thematic axes, methodological approach and the impact according to the citations registered in the Google Scholar. The results of this study offer insights about the composition of the journal, the methodologies favored by the authors who see this medium as a legitimate way of dissemination, and national and international citations, among others. Likewise, it is concluded that the journal is not an endogamous publication, more women publish than men, it has a low rate of internationalization and the most cited authors are: Ricardo Cuenca, Javier Murillo and Mercedes Loza, among others.
