One of the proposals defended by the European convergence process was a shift in the model of the teaching-learning process which affected the teaching role and the pupil role. Obviously, the put in practice of new teaching ways, new methodologies, should have a reflection in changes of the assessment process so that the evaluation can be adapted to this new idea. In this way, the goal of this article is to go deeper in the evaluation process, more concretely to know in the procedures used to gather information about the learning process of our students and how the way of assessing them has a certain influence in their formation such as oncoming professionals in the field of Pedagogy. For this article, data related to the degree in Pedagogy (Education School) in the University of Murcia have been collected. In particular, we have worked with three different promotions in Pedagogy (two of them from the Bachelor in Pedagogy and another one from the degree in Pedagogy), taking our students experience as a primary source of information. From this analysis we can firstly outline that the combination of two or more procedure to gather varied information about the learning process of the students and secondly, the existing continuity in the use of evaluation procedures in both curriculum, in the evolution from the Bachelor to the Degree in Pedagogy
