Este artículo presenta el proceso de diseño y validación de un sistema para la evaluación de la escritura. Se discuten dos procesos centrales: validación del constructo y de las instrucciones de escritura en las pruebas evaluativas, y diseño y validación de las herramientas de evaluación. La validación del constructo requirió su definición y alineación con los estándares de escritura y con las tareas evaluativas. Para validar las tareas se analizó su contenido, respondiendo a un conjunto de criterios para el diseño apropiado de actividades de escritura y encuestando a los estudiantes participantes sobre su comprensión de las instrucciones. Por último, se diseñaron rúbricas como herramientas de medición, y su validez se determinó mediante la alineación con los estándares y el constructo, y la estimación de la confiabilidad interna entre evaluadores (r > 0,7).
