In the university setting, cooperation presents a considerable challenge due to the social and academic context being deeply entrenched in individualism and competitiveness. Based on this premise, this study aims to explore the favourable conditions for cooperation that influence the professional development of future education professionals. It encompasses two qualitative-interpretative case studies involving groups of Infant Education degree students whose final practical training period involved a methodology centred on reflection and shared action (Lesson Study). Relevant data for further progress are therefore presented by triangulating data from interviews, direct observations of action, and documentary analysis of each participant's portfolio. Specifically, ideas emerge highlighting the importance of tutorial work in facilitating groups and a series of valuable teaching dispositions for cooperation that are crucial in such experiences and bring us closer to the goal of creating a collaborative culture in teaching from initial teacher training.
