Resumo:Individual competencies associated with teamwork are highly demanded in all productive and scientific sectors. International accreditation agencies have defined a set of indicators to identify the individual competencies associated with teamwork competence. Practically all universities address the challenge for graduates to acquire teamwork skills in groups and individually. In this context, it is essential to knowwhether students have acquired teamwork skills before entering the university and what training method they have followed to acquire them. In this research work, a tool has been developed to determine if they have followed procedures that generate evidence of these individual competencies throughout the development of teamwork, as well as the evaluation method used by the teachers who have trained them in this competency. The study was carried out on 171 students from two different subjects, degrees, and universities. The results confirm the central hypothesis of the work that the training method used before entering the university is of the “black box” type, where the faculty does not follow the evidence continuously and evaluates only the final result of the work.
