dc.descriptionCollaborative work encourages participants to build knowledge through exploration, discussion, negotiation, and debate to generate a better understanding or shared understanding of a concept, problem, or situation within a group. The aim of collaborative work is to find that shared understanding, which is understood as the existing agreement or similarity in the perceptions of the participants on a topic. Considering this, it can be determined that the greater the understanding and cohesion among all team members, the better results will be obtained in the development of the tasks and responsibilities that each of the members must fulfill, generating greater group trust and allowing everyone to move in the same direction. However, such understanding is not easy to build, there is no clarity on how it should be built, and it is simply given as something obvious or to be achieved, without giving it real importance. Trying to address these problems, from the multi-cycle action research methodology, THUNDERS is defined as a process that establishes how to build shared understanding in problem-solving activities. This article shows the conceptual and methodological cycles for its construction, and more in detail the validation cycle, in which was performed: an expert validation of the formal specification of THUNDERS to determine the correctness and completeness of its structure, a quality validation of its process model SPEM 2.0, and an experiment to validate its feasibility and usefulness. As results of these validations, it was obtained that THUNDERS needs to improve the syntactic and semantic elements of its specification and the cognitive load generated by its use. In addition, it was found that is a viable and useful process for the construction of a shared understanding with each of the elements that compose it.en-US
dc.descriptionEl trabajo colaborativo permite incitar a los participantes a la construcción de conocimiento mediante la exploración, discusión, negociación y debate, con el fin de generar una mejor comprensión o entendimiento compartido de un concepto, problema o situación dentro de un grupo. El objetivo del trabajo colaborativo es encontrar ese entendimiento compartido, el cual se entiende como la concordancia o similitud existente en las percepciones de los participantes sobre una temática. Considerando esto, se puede determinar que cuanto mayor sea el entendimiento y la cohesión entre todos los miembros del equipo, mejores resultados se obtendrán en el desarrollo de las tareas y responsabilidades que cada uno de los miembros debe cumplir, generando mayor confianza grupal y permitiendo que todos avancen en la misma dirección. Sin embargo, dicho entendimiento no es fácil de construir, no hay claridad en cómo se debe construir, y sencillamente se da como algo obvio o que debe lograrse, sin darle la real importancia. Tratando de abordar estas problemáticas, a partir de la metodología de investigación-acción multiciclo se define THUNDERS, un proceso que establece cómo construir entendimiento compartido en actividades de resolución de problemas. Este artículo muestra los ciclos conceptual y metodológico para su construcción, y más en detalle el ciclo de validación, en el cual se realizaron: una validación de expertos de la especificación formal de THUNDERS para determinar la correctitud y completitud de su estructura, una validación de calidad de su modelo de proceso SPEM 2.0, y un experimento para validar su viabilidad y utilidad. Como resultado de estas validaciones se obtuvo que THUNDERS necesita mejorar elementos sintácticos, semánticos de su especificación, y la carga cognitiva que genera su uso. Además, se obtuvo que es un proceso viable y útil para la construcción de un entendimiento compartido con cada uno de los elementos que lo componen.es-ES
