The objective of the investigation was to discover, describe and analyze the speeches and practices in the evaluation process of students registered from first to tenth semester in the day shift of the Psychology Program at Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Bogota branch. Discrepancies were found in the understanding of the evaluation process among the students, being just a qualification for most of them, rather than a learning process for the others.
