Abstract

This study reports a research project conducted at “Instituto Tecnico Nacional de Comercio” among 9th grade students and teachers of the same school. The purpose of this study is to characterize the current assessment status and if it is related to the development of the different cognitive competences among the educators in order to design a proposal that can help to reinforce the teaching and learning process concerning assessment and cognitive competences. Descriptive research and mixed approach were employed because they permit to work with quantitative and qualitative data. It leads to do a more complete data analysis process. The data was collected through surveys applied to students and teachers who belong to that institution. They demonstrated that among certain types and assessment instruments that exist, few are used. Besides, the cognitive competence that students facilitate the most when being evaluated is the interpretative, instead, the propositiva competence was the most difficult. Therefore, this research study suggests applying all the types and assessment instruments as long as they are required, taking into account the time, place, type of students and knowledge to be evaluated in order to develop equally all the cognitive competences, to interpret, to argument, to propose, at the same time.
