Abstract:
In this work there will appear the basic points of the educational process used in the matter of Physical Mechanics of the University School of Technical Architecture of Madrid. This process can subdivide in two principal subprocesses, that of education - learning and that of evaluation, in that two differentiated agents intervene, the teacher and the pupil. The most important tasks that must be covered in every subprocess are:

1. Education - learning. It must include the double following instruction:
- Informative or acquisition of knowledge of the matter. This knowledge will be:
o A set of methodologies that allow to the pupil his later learning (or auto learning) and the suitable accomplishment of his professional exercise.
o A set of contents organized into a hierarchy of agreement with his thematic importance (indispensable, basic, complementary matters, etc.) together with the degree of domain that one claim that the pupils reach.
- Formative or acquisition of skills and technologies that, going beyond the limits of the subject, there allow a major engineering development and human being of the pupil.
2. Evaluation. He contemplates a double valuation:
- Directed to the accreditation of the degree of pupil learning (qualification).
- Directed to the estimation of the fulfilment of his functions for every educational agent (auto evaluation).
In the educational process, both types of agents interact and only the work of both will allow getting the last purpose of the process. The global formation is a gradual and generally slow process that needs effort and work to reach every level, as well as a certain sedimentation as step previous to achieve top levels. A good didactic system must contemplate the suitable combination of educational technologies and diversification of efforts, paces and results.
