The methodological approach is action research in which eight workshops were held with students. Each participant filled out their logbook, from which data was extracted using Discursive Textual Analysis. Among the conclusions reached, the instrumentation based on the strategies worked and the creation of a space for authorship and sharing of knowledge among the participants stand out, which also demonstrated a shared sense of belonging to the group and the workshop space. The learning built during the meetings produced effects on the students, both in terms of instrumentation and in their self-confidence and recognition of their own constructions.
