EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION: The Cooperative Exams that Improved the Academic Results in a School in Zamora

1. The San Vicente de Paúl de Benavente School for nine years now began its process of methodological innovation that implied a significant change in the classrooms. A change in the role of teachers, not only as a transmitter of knowledge, but also as a facilitator and facilitator of learning. And also to change the role of the student, enhancing their active participation in the classroom. This innovation began with cooperative learning, from the stage of Infantile to Secondary, and with learning based on thinking, making skills and routines of thought. During this course, I took another step. Innovation in the evaluation process. Since the cooperative work is consolidated, it was necessary to carry out an evaluation in a cooperative way. The evaluation of the learning process must follow a clearly formative purpose, which provides the student with the precise information to improve their learning, to acquire strategies, skills and basic competencies. We need to do it with multiple tools and in multiple moments throughout the term, in such a way that we have a global vision of the student, of how he learns, what he learns, his rhythm and his progress in his learning. The cooperative exam is one more tool in the evaluation process, which is carried out at least eleven to quarter, in the different areas, in the primary and secondary stages.
