abstract = {Social and educational realities require formative systems to be established that develop
skills in students such as teamwork, critical thinking and motivational processes. These
serve as basic elements that permit effective social and occupational integration. The
present study proposed to establish an explanatory theoretical model and sought to
compare a serial mediational model containing two variables in order to associate these
variables in secondary school students. The present study also sought to analyse the direct
and indirect relationships and effects produced between the variables that made up the
specified model. The research design was ex post facto and cross-sectional. A quantitative
methodology was applied, taking a single measurement from a sample of 1159
participating secondary school students from Spain.
Outcomes provide evidence that greater teamwork is related with better developed critical
thinking skills. Further, greater teamwork and higher degrees of motivation increased
critical thinking, whilst better conceptions of teamwork impacted upon better future work
skills. Resultantly, these outcomes imply better educational motivation and higher levels
of critical thinking.
Another relevant finding was the determination of the importance of mediational effects.
In this regard, outcomes pertaining to teamwork were mediated by work skills and, above
all, educational motivation, with mediational effects also existing in relation to critical
thinking. The sequential mediation of teamwork by work skills and educational
motivation was found to be less relevant, although this finding was also statistically
significant and should be held in mind.},
