Abstract

AbstractIt is common to think about generational differences. However, it is rare for the teaching-learning process to adapt to the characteristics of new generation students that currently attend courses in higher education. Despite the Bologna directives proposing student-centered approach for the new generation curriculums, this implementation process is still far from complete. This paper presents the pedagogical methodologies most applied in a Portuguese higher educational institution of engineering and the difficulties in implementing the student-centered approach from the institutional point of view and from the teacher’s point of view. Also, possible solutions are proposed for the different points of view, giving the reasoning for the application of the student-centered approach.KeywordsStudent-centered approachResearch in engineering pedagogyEngineering pedagogy educationGeneration Z
