Docimology has faced several challenges that have involved revolutions and rearrangements. After briefly outlining the path taken by the science of evaluation of learning/teaching processes towards what is called formative evaluation, the paper focus on some critical aspects put in place by neuro-educational research and which arise, therefore, as new challenges for the Docimology: (1) the evaluative distortions generated by the spread of neuro-myths; (2) the danger of the teacher’s unconscious bias that affect the evaluation processes. Where these processes are made aware, it is possible to turn to an evaluative idea based on equity and the pedagogical ideal of democracy and the authentic enhancement of the individual. This is made possible above all thanks to the aid of tools, techniques, or methods capable of guiding the docimological action of educators. For this reason, some of them are analyzed such as systematic observation, spoken reflection, the competency assessment rubric, reality tasks.
