EVALUACIÓN DE LAS COMPETENCIAS IMPLÍCITAS DEL TRABAJO ARTESANAL UTILIZADO PARA EL APRENDIZAJE DE LA ASIGNATURA “MODELOS, MAQUETAS Y PROTOTIPOS”.

Abstract

In recent years, new educational strategies at high education are being implemented, which are quite different from the classic master class. Among these other ways of teaching are "Project Based Learning" (PBL) and "Learning by Doing" (LBD). With both methodologies it is about recovering the keys of the learning of the ancient craftsmen. Among the advantages of these learning systems, it is worth mentioning the acquisition of implicit competences for group work and communication (PBL) and serve as a stimulus for autonomous work and creativity (LBD).

The subject of "Mockups, Models and Prototypes" is taught to students in the third year of the of "Degree in Engineering in Industrial Design and Product Development" at the E.T.S. of Engineering and Industrial Design (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). The competences that students should acquire with the learning of this subject advise the use of PBL and LBD methods.

This paper shows the procedure used to simultaneously implement both teaching methodologies and value the benefits obtained in the learning of students through the evaluation of acquired skills.
