The methodology is based in the application of techniques of cognitive coaching education (USA), dialogic educational coaching (Spain) plus group dynamics adapted to the learning process.The phases of the research are:

b-Application techniques and group coaching techniques for both students and teachers: There are three modes:
b.1) "Dialogical educational coaching techniques" (for students), which are based on the systems approach (the classroom is conceived as a system and as a meeting point). Techniques such as "Dynamic Labels", "Dynamic Identification of personality through color," and the "Construction Circle Identification System Opinions on a guy" are included.
b.2) "Techniques of Cognitive coaching education" (between coach and teacher) based on "planned Conversation", "Comment" and "Reflective Conversation" (proposed by the researcher Donna Dildy).
b.3 Technical Integration Group ("Blind Football") and for the learning process ("Role Play").
