Based on this diagnosis, a continuing education seminar was designed and carried out, in which the students developed as much as theoretically, the significant learning that was sought was given through the same application of group learning as an instrumental axis of this process. show at the end of this process that the participants incorporated into their teaching work the methodology of group learning, planning techniques for this purpose, skills and attitudes of a facilitator and promoters of group learning such as group dynamics, techniques and processes. Both students and their teachers were satisfied with the results. Therefore, group learning turns out to be an alternative that strengthens the academic and professional training of students, which prepares them to encourage collaboration and cooperation within their classrooms.
