AbstractThe design and evaluation of a multidisciplinary workshop, focused on promoting the acquisition of linguistic communication and research skills in undergraduate engineering students of the Autonomous University of Yucatán in Mexico to strengthen their comprehensive training. The workshop is aimed to help students to express themselves in a better way in multidisciplinary cooperative learning teams. The implementation of the workshop involved the academic coordination between teachers who were involved according to the subjects they teach, conducting comprehensive assessments that each teacher evaluated the level of competence achieved. Participating students were evaluated before and after the workshop. From the results, it was concluded that the workshop proved to be very effective in raising the level of skills of linguistic communication and research of participating students.

Educational leadership has been studied over a long period of time; It has determined characteristics, models, strategies to develop and implement an appropriate leadership; The profits of an organization have been guaranteed if a leadership is properly developed, however, the educational leadership is not deepened as broad with a more naturalistic view and seen from the opinion of teachers. A study was conducted under the qualitative approach, specifically a case study at a university in southeast Mexico. Semi-structured interviews, focus groups, observations and content analysis were used. In this study aims to establish the opinions that teachers have about what should be a school leader, as well as their feelings in the daily work. It seems that teachers feel that humility and good treatment, as well as awareness towards others makes a leader successful and accepted in a school organization.
