Abstract

The change of strategies in teaching in Higher Education motivated the present work. With the application of cooperative and collaborative learning in the classroom, better results were obtained in the subject Research Workshop II, which is taught in Higher Education in Engineering. The work applying cooperative and collaborative learning impacted on the way to evaluate the participants, generating the need to find a way that allowed to have the elements to know who was contributing, which team progressed slower according to the program, as well as their peers in the development of the research project. In recent years in a significant number of companies dedicated to Information Technology and Communications have incorporated agile methodologies to manage different projects in very diverse branches, but especially in Software Engineering. In particular, the methodology used is Scrum. Therefore, Scrum was incorporated to develop students’ projects, but also to evaluate the progress that students are making in the development of projects. With the incorporation of Scrum, better results have been obtained in the projects that the students develop, they and the evaluator are aware of the progress and delays they have in achieving them, in order to take actions that allow the products requested to be completed in a timely manner the curricular program of the subject.
