A good way to learn is by "doing". The VGG educational innovation group (Visual Graphics Group) UPM develops the educational experiences in which the student is the central element of learning. |
In this article (presentation in pdf) presents a model developed by the Aeronautical EUITU.P.M. for the delivery of courses of Graphic Expression that has been tested in groups of 120 school, in models used meaningful learning in cooperative groups incorporating the provision of small projects that are complementary skills, preparing them for more advanced courses. |
The so-called "new educational models" (not so new) advocate the use of methodologies activas.Aprender "doing" and "playing" an active role in their learning.
Part of the work of the student is the work of collection development and content development. The format currently used paper can be replaced by new media and media(I can say what now new ?) among which are the blogs. Do you offer any competitive advantage? |
The pedagogical debate on the educational use of blogs, formative perspective, has led to the development of multiple innovative educational experiences. On EUITA the UPM , during this course, is added over that used in the blog as notebook computer, a digital approximation techniques cooperative learning. This experience takes place in a subject: "Graphic Expression in Engineering" (on a regulated course of Aeronautical Engineering), in the second half and first-year groups. |
The experiences educational usually appraise quantifying academic achievementobtained by students, comparing time and learning levels with respect to those obtained with traditional methods. The refinement of methodologies should certainly improve the results, in some cases, may not have been as good as expected. He then collected a small excerpt from a study conducted by the author in the UPM on the implementation of active methodologies in engineering schools. |
It is possible to innovate educationally with limited resources. Low active methodologiescan be very efficient cost educationally, be a research field SIGs (Educational Innovation Groups).
This text is an extract from a article educational innovation and introduction describes a different experience rapid methods of model building, in which Cooperative Learning with transversal contents is an essential tool not only as a vehicle for development in the classroom, but as a guarantee and emphasis on learning, pupil's hand leaving the means for further employment dive the many possibilities that are offered. |
