Abstract: The teamwork competence is one of the most demanded competences by the social environment and, therefore, is already a part of the learning objectives in the university studies. A comprehensive training model of the framework competence is presented on this paper which includes a description of this operational competence, within the training field, and the keys to design the training plan by using the ICT. Finally, a multidimensional empirical study of the students' experience in teamwork is presented, including the pre and post-implementation of a training prototype of this competence that was tested at the Technical University of Madrid and the University of Zaragoza in the 2012 spring term.

Keywords: teamwork competence; teamwork framework; skills learning; teamwork skills; training prototype; training models; teams.
