This  text  places  evaluation  as  a  practice  that  emerged  in  hegemonic  capitalist  societies  to  make  processes and products more efficient; and it is transferred to the educational field for the same purposes, that is, for the production of labor for work and the generation of surplus value. From a participatory ethnographic methodology, here the scope and limitations of evaluation are critically analyzed, as well as a conceptual analysis of valuation as an inherent category in the sociocultural practices of the Tsotsil indigenous people of Chiapas, Mexico. Likewise, a work of evaluation of the subjectivities, the school practices and the speeches of the students is carried out from a pedagogical work in a primary school and it is concluded that, if the evaluation is a colonial instrument of domination, it is urgent to decolonize it, from the contributions of the native peoples.
