Resumen: The aim of this study was to analyse collaborative negotiation in group creation processes. Participants were students enrolled in the Body Expression course which is part of the Physical Activity and Sports Sciences Degree curriculum at the Pontifical University of Salamanca (Spain). Experiences were collected through a group report, and content analysis was conducted using the QSR-NVivo 11 software. The results revealed an intuitive tendency towards democratic management and a positive evaluation of contrasting opinions. A tendency towards consensus and prompt acceptance of ideas that arose from “enlightenment” was also shown. Brainstorming was identified as a facilitative tool. Group cohesion and commitment were considered highly positive aspects. Leadership did not appear to be an essential factor for the process to function properly. All these elements
fostered creativity and compensated for the students’ lack of artistic and expressive experience.
