This research stems from the necessity to come up with an educational tool to improve the coexistence in the classroom. It is based on the building of the rules of the class group with the participation of families, students and teachers. For this, a questionary activity was built and validated. It was made up of some students’ behaviors items which can upset the development of the educational activity properly. This was filled in the pretest and the postest by 18 students and 8 teachers that made up the experimental group and by 18 students and 8 teachers in the control group. The pretest aim is to characterize the behaviors in which the teachers and students agree in which are occurred more frequently in each group. Afterwards, an intervention was developed within the experimental group through a process of building the rules in the classroom. For this, some activities have been developed, among them a discussion group. After the intervention, the questionary was filled in newly (postest), resulting in a significant improvement of intervention.

En este trabajo se describen los niveles de competencias argumentativas identificados en una muestra del alumnado universitario y su relación con las creencias epistemológicas. Para identificar las competencias argumentativas del alumnado se construyó un instrumento de respuestas abiertas en torno al tema del desempleo. Para medir las creencias epistemológicas se aplicó un instrumento constituido por 63 ítems (Schommer, 1990). Se realizó el análisis de los dos instrumentos y se obtuvo la fiabilidad y la validez.
