The paper, entitled “Una nueva visión del trabajo en equipo fundamentado en el liderazgo distribuido” [A new perspective on teamwork based on distributed leadership] under the category of “Nuevas formas docentes” [New teaching types]. In this paper, Puig and Maldonado established a new vision of the classroom, conceived of as a teaching space that depends on the concept of the team. In their speech they assured attendees that "the development of future teacher trainers’ professional competences” can improve. The aim is for students to undertake their final degree projects and teaching work placements based on teamwork, reflexive pedagogy and distributed leadership.
