The current research aims to investigate the lecturers' and students' points of view on team teaching strategies in the faculty of education at Soran University. The targeted population of this study includes all lecturers in the faculty of education at Soran University. The samples were chosen purposely from the faculty of education at Soran University, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The number of lecturers in the sample was (29), and the number of students was (315). To achieve the objectives of the research, two Likert-scale questionnaire survey designs were used as research tools for data collection, each of them consisting of (30) items. Furthermore, face validity and test-retest reliability were conducted for the research tools. After obtaining data from the questionnaires, a descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, such as a two-sample t-test was used. The results of the research have revealed that there is no difference between humanitarian and scientific lecturers' viewpoints about team-teaching strategies. Besides, there is no difference between male and female lecturers' points of view about the effects of team-teaching methods. However, there are differences between the viewpoints of male and female students about team teaching, and male students tend to be more interested in team teaching than female students.
