This paper exposes some findings obtained by a research on collaborative learning. Its general purpose was to gain a deeper knowledge on the effect of networks in teacher’s collaborative learning. The sample was conformed by 11 teachers in autism specific classrooms, whose work consists in designing and contrasting educational intervention strategies for those students. Data collection was performed through group interviews, questionnaires and analysis of the work plan. The results indicate that the work planned and agreed with a common path of continued participation, provides a basis to the improvement of education. Given that the working group provides professional security for its participants, helps to achieve common objectives and avoid professional isolation of teachers in specific classrooms, network communication is the basis of their work.

Keywords : collaborative learning; educational networks; professional networks; network communication; quality education.
