Evaluating learning is a very important aspect of the teaching-learning process. Using collaborative techniques can lead to developing such important feelings as belonging to a group, acceptance and autonomy amongst students in formal education. The model being proposed here involved a combination of collaborative techniques for approaching how knowledge may be effectively evaluated.

La evaluación del aprendizaje es un aspecto muy importante dentro de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

La utilización de técnicas colaborativas puede ayudar a desarrollar dentro de los estudiantes sentimientos tan importantes en educación como son los de pertenencia al grupo aceptación y autonomía. El modelo que se plantea involucra una combinación de técnicas colaborativas para lograr una apropiación del conocimiento a través del proceso de evaluación.
