As result, it was obtained an electronic questionnaire with 32 items of Likert scale responses and 1 dissertative question. These relate the four fundamental pillars of a CoP (mutual engagement, joint venture, shared repertoire and sense of identity and belonging) to eight school spaces constituted by a teaching collective. After the on-line application, in 2021, with teachers working in Basic Education, the questionnaire allowed identifying effectively school environments far from the formation of a CoP, getting close to one and strong constituents of one.
