Abstract (2. Language): 
From several sources the advantages of a methodology based on work in groups at university have been pronounced. It is desirable to have a method to assess not only the product but also the group process. Nevertheless, the university professors, perceive certain deficiencies and disinformation, especially with respect to the assessment of the group processes. For this reason, we try to respond to the following research questions: is possible to measure the process of the group even in large classrooms? Are the process and product marks correlated? Can be avoided the bloodsuckers? What problems arise? We have designed and proven a grill of observation and we have analysed an ample set of data. It seems evident that the proposed system successfully curbs opportunist behaviour patterns of students and that the main drawback, from the students' point of view, is that they are forced to put more effort into the subject.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Son ampliamente conocidas las ventajas que proporciona el plantear una metodología basada en trabajo en grupo con alumnos universitarios. En este sentido, es conveniente disponer de un método que permita evaluar no solo el producto, sino también el proceso del grupo. Sin embargo, los profesores perciben ciertas carencias y desinformación, especialmente en lo relativo a la evaluación de los procesos de grupo. Por este motivo pretendemos responder a las siguientes preguntas de investigación: ¿Es posible medir el proceso del grupo, incluso en clases con muchos alumnos? ¿Se pueden evitar los comportamientos oportunistas? ¿Qué relación existe entre las notas de proceso y las que son producto del grupo? ¿Qué problemas surgen? Para ello hemos diseñado y probado una parrilla de observación del profesor, habiendo procesado un conjunto amplio de datos. Como principal aportación, el sistema propuesto parece frenar comportamientos oportunistas de los alumnos; mientras que su principal inconveniente, desde el punto de vista de los alumnos, es que éstos se ven obligados a trabajar más intensamente en la asignatura.
