El conocimiento se genera de forma más rápida que nuestra capacidad de absorberlo. Por ello, lo importante es lo que sabemos hacer hoy y de qué seremos capaces de aprender para lo que nos espera mañana. En este artículo se analizan los modelos no presenciales existentes para adaptarlos al diseño de un aprendizaje que se adapte a las necesidades del alumno. Casi todo es realizable con apoyo de tecnología, por ello desarrollamos un modelo que apoyado en la misma permita desarrollar unas clases en las que el alumno pueda pasar, cuando lo estime oportuno, de presencial a virtual y viceversa. Se diferencia del modelo de otros autores que contemplan a un alumno solo presencial o solo virtual. Nuestro modelo da el protagonismo del aprendizaje al alumno, siendo el profesor el coordinador de su actividad y tutor de sus necesidades académicas. Tras tres años de aplicación del modelo, las asignaturas participantes han mejorado la tasa de rendimiento en más del 70% y la tasa de éxito en más del 35%.
This research studies the acquisition and improvement of specific cognitive, functional, and social competencies of the students enrolled in a university module in which we applied Collaborative Research Project (CRP) strategy. The module was Research Methodology for a master’s degree in research in electrical engineering, electronics and industrial control given at the National Distance Education University (UNED) in Spain. This practice was applied to a research project in which the private sector was interested in. We have been aiming at increasing academia–industry interaction while promoting active learning; both are principles advocated by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Having applied this strategy, the module learning outcomes were evaluated following the guideline standards set by the National Agency for Quality Assessment of Universities (ANECA) of the Spanish Government. The results from this evaluation indicated that CRP, even when carried out by using distance learning, has encouraged the students’ interest in both research and the module. It has also fostered collaboration between students and lecturers while increasing their degree of satisfaction. We highlight the difficulties in merging all the outcomes from the students’ research as the main drawback.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
