Teaching Technique

In this summary, a teaching technique to learn relevant food engineering and chemical engineering concepts has been presented. This method has been tested experimentally for the last two years in a class which belongs to the Food Science and Technology Bachelor’s Degree in the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain, and it is based on the induction of complex concepts through comprehensive everyday examples. More than 90% of students have adequately been able to extrapolate the knowledge acquired to other technical fields. The application of this method has resulted in an increased rate of passing exams and classes, as well as a higher attendance percentage. And most importantly, the students are having fun while learning. Furthermore, this great experience has encouraged some students to collaborate in the development of this teaching approach.

Research on variables related to academic performance is becoming increasingly important in universities; with special interest the study of those factors that may be subject of intervention for the improvement of the academic performance of their students (Davis & Thomas, 1999). The purpose of the study, among others, was to identify the main factors associated with the accreditation of the students of the Bachelor's Degree in Educational Sciences in a standardized test called the General Graduation Exit Examination in a Mexican public university. The sample was made up of 272 supporting students; Descriptive analyzes were carried out, chi-square (X2) and a logistic regression model was generated. The main results show that the age of the supporters, the schooling of the mother and the average in the Degree are the factors that most relate to the accreditation of the exam. The study presents empirical evidences that can be useful for the obtaining of more favorable results of the students in this type of standardized evaluations and for the decision making for the improvement of the educational processes in the university.
