Abstract

The aim of the Primary and Secondary Education consists of facilitating to adolescents a full training that allows them to carry out a qualified personal and professional future life. At that time, the teamwork is a very used tool due to the big advantages that it provides to individual, grupal, social and professional levels, but it is required a previous preparation that it is necessary to acquire during the school stage. In this research, we analize the Teamwork in two centers of Primary and Secondary Education of the Autonomous City of Melilla (Spain). We need to see the differences according to sex, course and type of center. The results demonstrate that in a teamwork the women are more responsible than the men. Also, with the increase in the age, the motivation and implication in the Collaborative Work diminishes
