Aplicación y evaluación de metodologías activas de enseñanza-aprendizaje que faciliten la adquisición de competencias relacionadas con los Sistemas de Información Geográfica en los programas de Grado y Máster de la Universidad de La Rioja

Abstract

In recent decades, the use of information systems has become widespread, thanks to greater data availability, as well as the improvement of the power and capacity of computer systems and programs. Specifically, the management of geographical data through the so-called Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has brought about a revolution in the ability to obtain information and advanced science. In this work, a list of the Undergraduate and Master's subjects of the University of La Rioja in which active GIS teaching methodologies are applied has been identified. A self-evaluation survey has been designed and carried out that has allowed us to assess the starting point of the knowledge about GIS that students have. Likewise, in these subjects a novel didactic material created for GIS learning is being used and its structure responds precisely to the level of use and demand of GIS and geographic data in general and in particular of university students. With the results obtained, the efficiency of the methodology designed for learning can be analyzed
