The goal of the study was to determine what transversal competences are present in practical lessons of the course Body Language and Expression, in which students assume the role of teacher. Diverse strategies of formative evaluation are used during the lessons, such as co-evaluation (by external observers) and self-appraisal (by the students themselves). To analyze the results obtained, the computer program Atlas.ti (Version 8.1) and video analysis were utilized. We conclude with the fact that the presence of competences in leadership, communicative action, and teacher planning and organization were valued positively.
