Cognitive load theory has traditionally been associated with individual learning. Based on evolutionary educational psychology and our knowledge of human cognition, particularly the relations between working memory and long-term memory, the theory has been used to generate a variety of instructional effects. Though these instructional effects also influence the efficiency and effectiveness of collaborative learning, be it computer supported or face-to-face, they are often not considered either when designing collaborative learning situations/environments or researching collaborative learning. One reason for this omission is that cognitive load theory has only sporadically concerned itself with certain particulars of collaborative learning such as the concept of a collective working memory when collaborating along with issues associated with transactive activities and their concomitant costs which are inherent to collaboration. We illustrate how and why cognitive load theory, by adding these concepts, can throw light on collaborative learning and generate principles specific to the design and study of collaborative learning.

Estrategias de enseñanza; Evaluación del docente; Personal académico docente; Psicometría Resumen Este artículo de investigación presenta los resultados del proceso de creación y determinación de las características psicométricas de un instrumento de evaluación de estrategias docentes en la práctica de la enseñanza universitaria. Para esto se utilizó un estudio instrumental con una muestra de 20.051 adultos estudiantes universitarios en 18 ciudades de Colombia; se hizo análisis factorial, análisis de clúster y análisis de consistencia interna. Se encuentran adecuadas características de validez y confiabilidad para las variables de: ambiente en el aula, planificación, estrategias de mediación cognitiva, estrategias de mediación emocional, estrategias evaluativas y recursos didácticos. Se discuten las implicaciones relacionadas con el perfil docente que estas estrategias impulsan y los perfiles reales de los profesores en las universidades.
