Competence Development, Student Valuation and Knowledge Transference After Cooperative Project-Based Learning in “Developmental Psychology in Childhood and Adolescence” in the Psychology Degree

Project-Based Learning and the Acquisition of Competencies and Knowledge Transfer in Higher Education

“…The application of PBL to higher education has also had a significant impact on training courses [29,45,46]. In the last few decades, the approach has shown itself to be especially effective applied to degrees in Education [37,38,45,[47][48][49][50], as well as Psychology [51], Sports Science [52], and Educational Psychology [53]. Among the positive outcomes associated with PBL methodology, teachers and students have reported high degrees of acquisition of competencies, increased motivation, an appreciation of constructive learning environments [23,37,40,54], and a better perception of the learning process [41].…”

Various trials carried out in the fields of Education and Psychology have proved very efficient [48,[59][60][61][62][63] and have provided the foundation for more recent research and innovation programs in higher education, which have not only evaluated the project in question alongside students' perception of their acquisition of competencies [37,51,57], but also examined students' perception of KT [49].…”
