Aprendizaje Basado en Competencias Aplicado a una Asignatura de Transferencia de Calor

Abstract

A learning methodology based on competences was designed. The method consists of a horizontal and vertical crossword in which basic concepts of thermodynamic, principles of heat transfer, general systems theory and differential equations are included. Also, a questionnaire to assess attitudes and knowledge of students was designed. This consists of self-assessment, homogeneous-assessment and heterogeneous- assessment. It was found that most students had positive attitudes and improved knowledge acquisition. It is concluded that the methodology is appropriate for increasing global understanding in the teaching-learning process of students.
