Este artigo tem por objetivo descrever e divulgar parte da pesquisa do Laboratório de Metodologias Inovadoras (LMI) no Centro Universitário Salesiano de São Paulo, Campus de Lorena, uma iniciativa do grupo de estudos do Núcleo de Assessoria Pedagógica (NAP), sobre Metodologias e Tecnologias Ativas de Aprendizagem. O LMI é um projeto que objetiva pesquisar metodologias ativas de aprendizagem, analisar suas fases e aplicá-las no ambiente educativo do ensino superior. Pautado na idéia de que o aluno da contemporaneidade deve ser capaz de autogerenciar seu processo de conhecimento, utiliza-se dos teóricos sócioconstrutivistas para demonstrar que as metodologias ativas favorecem a possibilidade do aluno enquanto construtor principal de sua própria aprendizagem e exigem uma docência que reconheça a aprendizagem como construção do aprendente. Com base nesses pressupostos, inclusive, o LMI criou e aplicou um instrumento de pesquisa a fim de mapear as metodologias ativas utilizadas pelos professores dos cursos de licenciaturas do UNISAL, campus Lorena. Isso porque, especialmente para os cursos da área de Educação, compreende ser fundamental que o aluno, futuro profissional, não apenas ouça ou leia a respeito de mudanças didáticas a partir de metodologias ativas. É necessário que o aluno participe, vivencie, experimente, em seus anos de curso superior, as metodologias ativas e, assim, possa avaliá-las e ter mais elementos para decidir sobre suas pertinências ou não em sua futura atividade docente.Palavras-chave: Laboratório de metodologias inovadoras.

IML is a project that aims to find and study active learning methodologies, it analyzes its phases and apply them in the educational environment of higher education. Based on the idea that the contemporary students should be able to self-manage their knowledge process, theoretical socioconstructivists were used to demonstrate that active learning methodologies favor the possibility of the student as the main builder of their own learning and require a teaching that recognizes the learning process as construction of the learner. Also, based on these assumptions, IML has created and implemented a survey to map the active methodologies used by teachers of education undergraduate courses of UNISAL, Lorena campus. That's because, particularly for courses in the area of education, it is essential for the student - future professional - to understand, not only hear or read about teaching changes from active methodologies. It is necessary for the student to participate, experience, try, in their years of higher education, active methodologies and thus they can evaluate them and have more elements to decide on their pertinence or not in their future teaching activities.Keywords: Innovative methodologies laboratory.

PurposeCollaboration between universities and industry is increasingly perceived as a vehicle to enhance innovation. Educational institutions are encouraged to build partnerships and multidisciplinary projects based around real-world open problems. Projects need to benefit student learning, not only the organisations looking for innovations. The context of this study is a multidisciplinary innovation project, as experienced by the students of an University of Applied Sciences in Finland. The purpose of this paper is to unfold students’ conceptions of the learning experience, to help teachers and curriculum designers to organise optimal conditions and processes, and support competence development. The research question was: How do students in higher professional education experience their learning in a multidisciplinary innovation project?Design/methodology/approachThe study took a phenomenographic approach. The data were collected in the form of weekly diaries, maintained by the cultural management and social services students (n=74) in a mandatory multidisciplinary innovation project in professional higher education in Finland. The diary data were analysed using thematic inductive analysis.FindingsThe results of the study revealed that students’ understood the learning experience in relation to solvable conflicts and unusual situations they experienced during the project, while becoming aware of and claiming their collaborative agency and internalising phases of an innovation process. The competences as learning outcomes that students could name as developed related to content knowledge, different personal characteristics, social skills, emerging leadership skills, creativity, future orientation, social skills, technical, crafting and testing skills and innovation implementation-related skills, such as marketing, sales and entrepreneurship planning skills. However, future orientation and implementation planning skills showed more weakly than other variables in the data.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that curriculum design should enable networked, student-led and teacher supported pedagogical innovation processes that involve a whole path from future thinking and idea development through prototyping to implementation planning of the novel solution. Teachers promote deep comprehension of the innovation process, monitor and ease the pain of conflict if it threatens motivation, offer assessment tools and help in recognising gaps in individual competences and development needs, promote more future-oriented, concrete and implementable outcomes, and facilitate in bridging from innovation towards entrepreneurship planning.Originality/valueThe multidisciplinary innovation project described in this study provides a pedagogical way to connect higher education to the practises of society. These results provide encouraging findings for organising multidisciplinary project activities between education and working life. The paper, therefore, has significant value for teachers and entrepreneurship educators in designing curriculum and facilitating projects. The study promotes the dissemination of innovation development programmes in between education and work organisations also in other than technical and commercial fields.
