This paper is focused on teacher's collaborative work. Its main objective is to compare public policies principles in two different phases of the Portuguese educational system. The study, which follows a qualitative orientation, collected data from interviews performed on four teachers and a Porto school principle, as well from two public Portuguese university professors. Their discourses were analysed through content analyses. The study allowed the conclusion that, even though collaborative work is valued, the current policies are preventing it. Teacher's intensive workload and the pressure resulting from the national and international evaluation are generating a decrease in collaborative work that was stimulated by policies at the end of the 20th century. Nowadays, teachers are working with the students in order to achieve fast academic results.

Palabras clave : Collaborative Work; Primary and Secondary Education; Teaching Work Intensification; Evaluation Formats; Public Policies.
