abstract = {The ability to work in a team is currently one of the most demanded competencies of professionals and, therefore,
constitutes one of the key transversal aspects to be targeted by educational systems. This is especially important at stages
prior to job insertion. The aim of the present study was to validate a scale measuring perceptions of teamwork skills
within a sample of students undertaking vocational training in the south of Spain. For this, both exploratory (n = 879)
and confirmatory (n = 1,843) factor analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS® 26 and IBM Amos Graphics® 23.0
software packages. This permitted a scale to be developed which was formed of ten indicators of teamwork skills. These
indicators were grouped into three dimensions, namely, teamwork behaviors, ratings the importance of teamwork and
self-perceptions of teamwork capabilities. Adequate fit indices were obtained (KMO = 0.845; CFI = 0.984; NFI = 0.978;
IFI = 0.984; RMSEA = 0.037; and SRMR = 0.044). Thus, a robust and reliable scale is presented that rates student perspectives
of essential aspects of Vocational Training, such as teamwork skills.},
