El presente artículo describe una experiencia de formación en alternancia en un contexto de educación superior; en concreto, a partir de la iniciativa desarrollada por Florida Universitaria, centro adscrito a la Universidad de Valencia. La formación en alternancia implica alternar el aprendizaje entre períodos desarrollados en el centro educativo y momentos desarrollados en el contexto laboral. El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar una iniciativa que, de forma empírica, muestre cómo estos periodos impactan en el aprendizaje de competencias de los estudiantes. La metodología que se ha aplicado en la experiencia de formación en alternancia se basa en el aprendizaje basado en problem…

Teaching and learning in consumer behavior: a class activity supporting real decision-making in cultural management
2010
Abstract Problem-based learning has been suggested as a useful tool to foster student-centered learning and increase student motivation. Students of Business Administration are not familiar with Research on Consumer Behavior, its contents and techniques, since this subject is traditionally linked to Psychology. In order to facilitate the teaching-learning process in this subject, this paper presents an application of problem-based learning in the context of Consumer Behavior. Results of this pilot experience are assessed under a qualitative and a quantitative basis. The evidence obtained allow us to conclude that this collaboration project enable students to obtain and to process informatio…
Investigación en el aula: evaluación de la metodología de aprendizaje basado en problemas en la asignatura de Corrosión
2020
[ES] La metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) se introdujo por primera vez en un curso de Corrosión del Master de Ingeniería Química de la Universitat Politècnica de València, durante el curso 2018-2019. Se diseñaron y presentaron diferentes problemas relacionados con todos estos conceptos como metodología de aprendizaje basado en problemas. Para evaluar el empleo de este tipo de metodología activa se plantea la elaboración de una encuesta a los estudiantes de manera anónima e individual y la realización de una matriz de escenarios presentes y futuros para la asignatura de forma grupal. Es importante señalar que a pesar de que para muchos de los estudiantes (67%) esta era la …
La competenza digitale dei futuri insegnanti della scuola primaria e dell’infanzia
2017
La sfida proveniente dall'identificazione della competenza digitale come una delle competenze-chiave di cittadinanza (EU, 2006), e in Italia, dal Piano Nazionale per la Scuola Digitale (2015), esige l’implementazione di percorsi educativo-didattici corredati da adeguati sistemi di valutazione; diventa pertanto imprescindibile promuovere interventi formativi specifici e fornire adeguati strumenti di valutazione e di autovalutazione ai futuri insegnanti di scuola primaria e dell’infanzia che li aiutino ad acquisire le competenze digitali necessarie per progettare percorsi di media education in ambito educativo. Il presente contributo mostra le fasi fondamentali del percorso di ricerca per lo …
Introducing Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Textile Engineering Education and Assessing its Influence on Six Sigma Project Implementation
2012
The purpose of this paper is to explore the methodology that has adopted to implement PBL in textile engineering education at “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu (LBUS) which also highlights its potential influence on Six Sigma projects that has implemented in a textile manufacturing industry. The function of both PBL and Six Sigma approaches is to solve the problems by executing projects in a systematic way. Structurally, they are quite similar in nature. Many academic institutes around the world are currently introducing PBL to enhance the quality of higher education. On the other hand manufacturing units are trying to shorten their Six Sigma project duration, but interconnection between b…
eCity: Virtual City Environment for Engineering Problem Based Learning
2015
The main objective of the eCITY project is to design, develop and validate a pedagogical methodology, supported by an online, collaborative, city-development simulation engine (Simcity like) that stimulates the integration and continuous exploitation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering and science schools but, at the same time, fostering the interest for these orientations in secondary school students.

The authenticity of ‘authentic’ assessment some faculty perceptions
2017
The attempt to embed Authenticity within the learning process in higher education has been a driving principle within many pedagogical approaches to Higher Education developed over the past three decades. The desire to allow students to learn in a manner that closely resembles the way in which expertise is developed outside the academic environment is a central element of problem-based, inquiry-based and projectbased learning. Exploring the implications of authenticity for student achievement and the ways in which this should be assessed has led to innovative teaching methods and ways of evaluating student performance. Unfortunately, authenticity, and authentic assessment in particular, are…
Student-teachers’ use ofGoogle Earthin problem-based geology learning
2011
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are adequate for analyzing complex scientific and spatial phenomena in geography education. Google Earth is a geographic information tool for GIS-based learning. It allows students to engage in the lesson, explore the Earth, explain what they identify and evaluate the implications of what they are learning. This paper introduces one example of using Google Earth for problem-based learning processes in teacher education. Student-teachers’ geographical thinking was analyzed during the study process. We have found that although student-teachers have inadequate skills to use information and communication technology, the use of Google Earth improved student…
Continuous Improvement Challenges: Implementing PBL in One University in Romania
2020
Abstract What do business and education have in common when it comes to continuous improvements? The answer is Lean Principles. Case studies and implementation challenges from some pilot PBL projects in one university, in Romania, are analysed and described in depth, while comparing the educational experience in the university to the challenges and resistance to change that facilitators in the private sector face inside their own companies. Taking this into consideration and based on qualitative data retrieved from interviews carried out in the private sector and in the educational sector, the authors of this paper will present deep insights that are meant to serve as a basis for understand…
