The Faculty of Education at the University of Oviedo is developing, from 2007-2008, a Plan for Improving Education degree that affects the first cycle. The Plan has been implemented through coordination committees in each course. The Plan has resulted in the realization of interdisciplinary seminars, which allow the study of transversal issues. This work aims to show the students' assessment of the degree in Education from the University of Oviedo of new methodologies introduced by the teaching stafff, to suit the European Higher Education Area. Seminars have been a methodological deep change because they have focused didactic action in the acquisition, development and assessment of generic competencies in students, especially “teamwork”, which has been the backbone of this block of seminars.

This methodological change has focused on overcoming the individual working methodology for a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach. The objectives of this change are:

1. Promote and enhance active participation, teacher collaboration and coordination.
2. Increasing levels of coordination between disciplines and among teachers.
3. Increase student participation and skills related to teamwork
4. Analyze the impact of innovations in teaching methodology on student learning

 The interdisciplinary seminars have been developed through strategies such as symposia, round tables, preparation of materials, tutorial sessions (face tutorial sessions), oral presentations, public speaking, etc. There have been four seminars: first is a methodological seminar, another two are focused on transversal issues, and a fourth synthesis workshop to disseminate to students of other courses what has been done, how they have done, and what lessons have been achieved. In this paper we collect how students have evaluated the experience of interdisciplinary seminars focusing on the valuations of tutorials, training sessions, minutes and other documents relating to each seminar and overall assessment of all seminars. The results concluded that students value the experience positively and seminars are a key tool for acquisition and development of generic competencies required of graduates in Pedagogy.
