Focos de investigación sobre aprendizaje universitario en el área de dirección de operaciones

“…La docencia basada en la evidencia de qué es lo que mejor favorece el aprendizaje de nuestros alumnos (Burke-Smalley, 2014;Cascio, 2007;Morrell & Learmonth, 2015) es una corriente de trabajo e investigación que poco a poco va ganando terreno y se relaciona con la base del movimiento creado bajo la etiqueta de scholarship (Boyer, 1990;Delbecq, 2007;Fernandez March, 2008;Pearce, 2007).…”

Evidence-based professionalism in small specialist HE course management – reflexive thoughts on ongoing research

This concern is shared by Davies (1999) More recently, Biesta (2010) proposed to move away from evidence-based education because of various deficits associated with the methodology.…”
