Developing cooperative evaluation methodologies in higher education

Abstract

Assessment is one of the most important practices for both teachers and students. In the classroom, the work of the students will be conditioned by the evaluation. In addition, students usually carry out the tasks with the only aim of improving their grades. The exclusive use of the lectures and their evaluation by means of an exam is an ineffective tool to achieve meaningful learning and the development of critical thinking. Currently, we have different methodologies that allow us to put these two concepts to practice, and also increase the interest and motivation of the students. The aim of this work is to s how the effectiveness of other evaluation methodologies.
