Abstract
It is a reality that universities place great emphasis on formative research in the training of their students in order to increase their knowledge, skills, attitudes and achieve competences. This paper aims to show the experience of applying the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology to assess learning based on indicators that have been determined from the criteria considered to correspond to the competences of the course under study Business Electronic, at the Professional School of Systems Engineering (EPIS) of the Universidad Nacional de San Agustin de Arequipa (UNSA), Arequipa-Peru, with theory and laboratory practice taught by two teachers. The objective is to apply an evaluation strategy for the development of competences with active didactics to the engineering training course. The methodology used is Problem-Based Learning applied to a formative research project based on real problems common to many organizations. In the semester, the students in groups solve the problems stated, and then they deliver a deliverable report and formative research report of each problem that is scored through a rubric. The teachers make contributions and provide feedback in the report for the improvement and experience that the student is acquiring in their training. The results obtained show that the objectives are achieved, increasing knowledge, skills, attitudes and adequate evaluation in the training of students, as well as the development of the competences of the course, as well as achieving the results of the student; showing that the application of PBL with Formative Research would provide good results for other courses of the professional career, allowing continuous improvement in the teaching-learning process. The conclusion is that an adequate assessment of learning based on indicators with an active didactic strategy, effectively planned and adequately applied to real-life problems, makes it possible to achieve the expected student results.
Highlights
At the university higher education level, universities try to achieve accreditation to guarantee the quality of the service offered
The Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa [6], Arequipa - Peru, its Educational Model is based on the competency-based model for the professional training of students, and take into account that Professional Schools, such as the Professional School of Systems Engineering [7], teachers must include Formative Research in the syllabus of the course, in order to eliminate gaps in knowledge, skills and attitudes in students, and be able to use didactic strategies [8],[9],[10] adapting them to the nature of the course in order to achieve the training objectives and competences
The initial structure was adapted to include the element "student outcomes", which is considered important and better complements its definition, structure and application to the evaluation of problems or projects; namely: a) General Competence(s), b) Course Competence(s), c) Student Outcomes, d) Process(es), e) Criterion(s), f) Performance Indicator(s), g) Indicator(s) Rating Scale; having that the rating scales are applied according to the nature of the indicator in each criterion and each competence involved in the subject
Summary
At the university higher education level, universities try to achieve accreditation to guarantee the quality of the service offered. The Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa [6], Arequipa - Peru, its Educational Model is based on the competency-based model for the professional training of students, and take into account that Professional Schools, such as the Professional School of Systems Engineering [7], teachers must include Formative Research in the syllabus of the course, in order to eliminate gaps in knowledge, skills and attitudes in students, and be able to use didactic strategies [8],[9],[10] adapting them to the nature of the course in order to achieve the training objectives and competences. It is necessary for the student to develop greater knowledge, other skills, attitudes and training competences of the courses, as well as to achieve a higher level of research. The experience is developed in the subject Electronic Business (NE) which corresponds to the VIII semester of the Study Plan
