It is considered analyze teamwork in an educational context because it is one of the most used tools in this environment. It was an empirical, quantitative, transversal and field research, made in an educational context with 69 participants.

The results evidence show that the most frequently perception was toward the leader with democratic style, with a positive correlation of power motivation. This leadership style makes feel the members fundamental encouraging their participation to achieve their goal, therefore this relationship results congruent with theory, because the principal stimulation to people with this motivation is that they are important to the team.
