Competencias Transversales

La sociedad requiere de los egresados la formación en las competencias transversales que incluso son mejor valoradas por los empleadores que las competencias específicas del grado. Las metodologías activas para desarrollar las competencias se han implantado con éxito en grupos reducidos. En cambio, trabajar y evaluar objetivamente las competencias transversales en grupos numerosos presenta una serie de dificultades añadidas como una excesiva carga de trabajo para el profesorado, con la subsiguiente resistencia al cambio y falta de experiencias. El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar una propuesta formativa que emplea la metodología de aprendizaje basado en proyectos y el portafolio como método para trabajar y evaluar múltiples competencias transversales en grupos numerosos de estudiantes de ingeniería. Los resultados muestran que es factible diseñar y desarrollar actividades formativas aplicables en grupos numerosos, que favorezcan la adquisición de múltiples competencias transversales. Además, han permitido obtener una mejora significativa en el nivel de dominio de las mismas, sin suponer una carga de trabajo adicional excesiva ni para el alumnado ni para el profesorado. Asimismo, los resultados muestran que el nivel de dominio de las competencias transversales alcanzado por el alumno tras las actividades depende principalmente del nivel de dominio previo, y no tanto del tiempo de dedicación al proyecto. No obstante éste último es un factor importante en la mejora en el nivel de dominio de las competencias. Finalmente, el 86% de los alumnos valoran positivamente la metodología empleada, indicando que proporciona una visión más aplicada de la asignatura. Society requires graduates to acquire cross-curricular skills during their education since this type of skills is better valued by employers than even degree-specific skills. Active methodologies to develop skills have been successfully implemented in small groups. In contrast,working and objectively evaluating cross-curricular skills in large groups presents a number of additional difficulties such as excessive workload for teachers, which generates resistance to change and lack of experience. The aim of this study is to design, apply and assess training activities with a large number of engineering students, more specifically 288, who were taking a compulsory subject. These training activities used project-based learning and portfolios to work and evaluate multiple cross-curricular skills. The results show that it is feasible to design and develop training activities applicable in large groups that promote the acquisition of multiple cross-curricular skills, allowing for a significant improvement in the knowledge level of the students, without assuming an excessive workload for students and teachers. The results also show that the extent to which students acquired cross-curricular skills after the activities depends mainly on their previous level, and not so much on the time they devoted to the project. However, time reveals itself as an important factor when it comes to the mastery of skills. Finally, 86% of the students have a positive perception of the methodology employed, indicating that it provides a more applied understanding of the subject.

The Subject

This chapter describes a project-based massive open online course (MOOC) in nanotechnology and nanosensors that was offered in two languages: English and Arabic. A mixed methods research was conducted to examine the role of project-based learning in the process of knowledge construction and motivation to learn a MOOC. The study compared between three groups of science and engineering students: English MOOCers, Arabic MOOCers, and university students. Findings indicated positive attitudes about learning in a project-based MOOC, especially with relation to gaining work experience. Findings also indicated that in a project-based setting, MOOC participants were mostly driven by a desire to establish connections with peers, whereas university students were mostly motivated by their interest in the subject matter. Arabic MOOCers, who were less successful in solving ill-defined problems, narrowed the gap, and at the end of the course received similar grades in the final project.

Competencias Transversales

Debido a las exigencias del panorama profesional actual, surge la necesidad de desarrollar competencias transversales durante la etapa universitaria que faciliten su inserción laboral. Una metodología docente que resulta adecuada en las ingenierías es el aprendizaje basado en proyectos. Implementarlo a través de la metodología BIM reforzará la adquisición de estas competencias transversales a los estudiantes. Este trabajo muestra el marco de trabajo desarrollado para implementar el aprendizaje basado en proyectos a través de la tecnología BIM en ambientes educativos de ingeniería de proyectos. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto una mejor comprensión del proyecto por parte de los alumnos que deriva en una mejora cualitativa de las soluciones técnicas proyectadas.AbstractThe engagement of engineers from various specialties is demanded by construction projects to ensure their success. Its main consequence is the need to create collaborative working environment. Consequently, one of the most demanded competence in professional activity nowadays is the ability to carry out projects in multidisciplinary teams. Project-based learning is a suitable tool for improving this skill in construction projects engineering students.This paper focuses on showing the framework developed for implementing project-based learning through Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology in engineering construction education environments. A collaborative framework managed by BIM execution plan was established. This document assigns roles and tasks for each member of the team, who work on the same digital file hosted in a cloud. Furthermore, it establishes the characteristics and timing of project’s deliverables.The results show a qualitative enhancement in the quality of the work developed by the students with respect to 2D technology previously implemented. Keeping track of their partner’s work improves coordination to design compatible solutions. So, a better coordination among engineers is the reason of this improvement. This methodology aids to develop transversal competences of engineering students by favouring their performance in multidisciplinary teams.

Abstract Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an active student-centered learning methodology. Several schools (of varying degrees of education) have implemented, in different ways, PBL, having as common strands that the student learns in teams, and being challenged in the context of a case-scenario. In Portugal, a PBL methodology has been implemented, in the first year of an Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) program, for more than 15 years. This represents a total number above 700 students of IEM enrolled in PBL during the reported timeframe. A continuous improvement process of the PBL activities was relentlessly pursued during such period. Grounded on end-of-term on-line PBL process satisfaction questionnaires, as well as on results of each PBL edition final workshops, this paper studies and reports on a number of such achievements and shortcomings. Thus, this paper presents the analysis of the results of ten academic years of PBL evaluation process, grounded on the compiled results obtained from 2009/10 to 2019/20. Also, a synthesis of the effective findings (either positive or negative), systematically pointed out by the students, will be presented. Altogether, the PBL implementation in the IEM program has been very positive for students and teachers and worth for others to follow.

The Impact

One of the world-recognized practices of modern higher education is the application of problem-based and project-based approaches to teaching STEM-disciplines. In case of integration of problem-based and project-based learning, the educational process is organized around the problem to be solved by students and stimulates them to find optimal strategies for solving, and project activities are chosen as a way of organizing work. The article describes the ongoing experience of implementation of project-based STEM-courses "Hydro- and Gas Dynamics" and "Applied Mechanics and Fundamentals of Design", which is part of training of engineering students of 151 Automation and Computer-integrated technologies speciality at the Bohdan Khmelnytskyy National University of Cherkasy during 2017-2019 academic years. The impact of problem-based and project-based approaches to teaching STEM-disciplines on the formation of professional and general competencies of future engineers had been analyzed. The dynamics of changes of personal and interpersonal skills of junior students during the teamwork on mono- and multidisciplinary projects had been studied. The case study method was chosen as the general research method, which corresponds to the number of research participants and the active role of researchers in the educational process. The results of surveys developed using the 5-point Likert scale, demonstrates that students mostly positively evaluate the projects and teamwork. The possibility of self-grouping, which made possible to form teams based on common interests and promote freer and more natural communication within the team, was the important factor of positive perception of project work. The disadvantages of the implemented approaches include the difficulties that manifested itself at the stage of students' planning of the project process. One of the reasons for this is the lack of previous experience in the realization of students' team projects. The introduction of multidisciplinary projects made it possible to optimize the workload of students working simultaneously on a project in two disciplines and increase the motivation to study the disciplines of the STEM cycle.

The article explains how civic education is included in the subject of history in elementary and secondary schools in Slovenia. History is a compulsory subject taught in elementary and secondary schools and plays an important role in the cultural, social and political education of young people – young citizens. The analysis of current history curricula indicates that they contain civic and patriotic elements in the general and specific objectives and learning outcomes, as well as in the content. The analysis of selected history textbooks shows that Slovenian textbooks include more European history than Slovenian history. The article explains what social and civic competences can be developed and fostered in the subject of history and how elementary and secondary school students can use various examples from the past to develop a positive attitude towards Slovenian identity and the protection of Slovenian cultural heritage, a respectful attitude towards human rights and democratic citizenship, towards different cultures, religions and nations, and responsible socio-political activity. It has been noted that history teachers have many opportunities to teach students the relevant values of democratic citizenship and to enable them to know and understand themselves as individuals and as members of the local and global communities. However, more attention should be paid to contemporary Slovenian history and active citizenship.
