Abstract: 

Owing to the shortage of didactic preparation which teachers possess after their academic formation,<br>the novices are obliged to learn at a very quick pace the functioning of the dynamic school. With so<br>much novelty, evaluation stands out in the broad sense and also as the receiver of all information. In<br>this paper we examine the method of work by means of an example, in projects of statistical education<br>and their evaluation through a trainee portfolio analysing the information obtained and using it as a<br>source to regulate the inter-action in the classroom. This will help us to appreciate the grade of<br>knowledge acquired by the students in certain concepts of statistics proposed in the Spanish curriculum<br>for students from 15-16 years in obligatory secondary education.
