Skills-based learning has had a significant impact on international educational community. Educational reforms of the basic education system in Spain and Mexico during the last decade, proposed educational models which required teamwork and student adherence to a rubric. A quasi-experimental study was conducted based on self-assessment, co-assessment, and teacher assessment to evaluate teamwork (N=137). Data was collected based on an ad hoc designed rubric with eight descriptors. Data analysis was done through exploratory analysis and statistical tests using the SPSS program. According to results of the co-evaluation, four descriptors received the maximum grade and six for the self-evaluation, while only one received this rating by the teaching staff. The average by groups shows that in the self-assessment the scores are higher. There were significant differences in the experimental group with regards to the teacher evaluation, but not in the peer assessment. The control groups also experienced significant differences, yet, only in the self-evaluation. Promoting the values of teamwork and assessment is fundamental in Primary Education and the use of instruments, such as the rubric , requires training both students and teachers for its preparation and use.
