WHAT: As mentioned in Chapter 1 of the EJI, a multidisciplinary team is made up of professionals from various areas, who have different skills, tools and experiences, who works together to achieve a common goal. They are characterized by sharing knowledge and carrying out an integral task. The results obtained from these groups are much more satisfactory than individual works.
SO WHAT: A multidisciplinary team is made up of several specialists from different areas. But usually there is only one specialist in each work area. Because of this, an environment is generated where trust is a key piece for the operation of the team. If a person in a particular area does not have deep knowledge about another, he will trust the most about what the team does, obtaining an optimal work environment and the objectives of the team can be carried out.
Each specialist manages a unique language, which he learned throughout his training, which may or may not coincide with other work areas. That is why you must have the ability to express a message or idea that is understood by all team members and anyone involved. For example, in the field of health, in the Leonard paper, is concluded that effective communication and teamwork are essential to provide high quality and safe medical care.
NOW WHAT: As a future agriculture engeneer, my wishes are to produce food and research. And to carry out both projects, it is necessary to work in multidisciplinary teams, where there are people in charge of the social, economic and technical fields, such as accountants, economists, veterinarians and different types of engineers. In these types of teams trust is central, since for each area there is only one person in charge of it, which the whole team trusts in it, who will do things in the best possible way, with dedication, responsibility and commitment , like him with the other areas of the team.
In addition, another very important point is communication within the team, given that each specialist has a special or very technical language, which may not be understood by another area. So it is necessary to carry a clear and understandable message for all team members, thus trying to ensure that the message is correctly interpreted and there are no doubts or misunderstandings. On the other hand, to be able to share clear opinions, allows to make better decisions, as they say in the scientific article of Ruhstaller, a decision resulting from a multidisciplinary discussion is more precise and effective than the sum of all individual opinions.

WHAT: In the article selected for the blog “Sport Education” it is explained what it Is and how does It work. It is a type of special, authentic education that is based on sports experiences and works cooperatively, in small groups and peers.
SO WHAT: When we see that a sports team triumphs, we think that there was lucky or that they are only good players. But in reality, this is not what happens. Behind a good and successful team there is an adequate education, a good work environment and a great motivation. When we talk about education, we mean acquiring the necessary values, such as respect, responsibility, dedication, cooperation, etc; and differents skills for comunication. All these elements are important, because if one of these fails, a bad working environment is generated inside the team. The trust is lost among the team members, which leads to not achieving the objectives, and therefore being an unsuccessful team. Another important factor is motivation. Without motivation it is difficult for the team to function properly, as explained in Brand Extensions.
NOW WHAT: As a future agronomic engineer, learning these concepts is very useful, because at present, most of the works in this area are in multidisciplinary teams, where trust is one of the most important values to have as a team member. Working with respect and compromise make the work environment optimal, being able to carry out the mains goals. In addition, the possibility of working in teams is very useful to increase the cognitive senses, helping the team with the maximum of oneself, as would any educated member of a sports team.

Esto es una entrada de muestra, originalmente publicada como parte de Blogging University. Regístrate en uno de nuestros diez programas y empieza tu blog con buen pie.
Hoy vas a publicar una entrada. No te preocupes por el aspecto de tu blog. Tampoco te preocupes si todavía no le has puesto un nombre o si todo esto te agobia un poco. Tan solo haz clic en el botón “Nueva entrada” y explícanos por qué estás aquí.
¿Por qué es necesario?
La entrada puede ser corta o larga, una introducción de tu vida o una declaración de los objetivos del blog, un manifiesto de cara al futuro o una breve descripción del tipo de cosas que pretendes publicar.
Te ofrecemos algunos consejos útiles para ayudarte a empezar:
No tienes por qué atarte a las decisiones que tomes ahora. Lo bueno de los blogs es que evolucionan constantemente a medida que aprendemos nuevas cosas, crecemos e interactuamos los unos con los otros. Pero está bien saber dónde y por qué empezaste, y plasmar tus objetivos puede darte más ideas para las entradas que quieres publicar.
¿No sabes por dónde empezar? Tan solo escribe lo primero que se te ocurra. Anne Lamott, autora de un libro sobre cómo escribir que nos encanta, afirma que debemos permitirnos escribir un “primer borrador de mierda”. Anne está en lo cierto: tan solo tienes que empezar a escribir, y ya te encargarás de editarlo más tarde.
Cuando todo esté listo para publicarse, asigna entre tres y cinco etiquetas a la entrada que describan el centro de atención de tu blog: escritura, fotografía, ficción, educación, comida, coches, películas, deportes… ¡Lo que sea! Estas etiquetas ayudarán a los usuarios interesados en tus temas a encontrarte en el Lector. Una de las etiquetas debe ser “zerotohero”, para que los nuevos blogueros también puedan encontrarte.
