“…As a comparative reflection on other state-of-the art research, our results do not interfere with others that confirm the goodness of using ICT resources in engineering [2] or methodologies sustained by collaborative frameworks [17][18][19]. Indeed, this program relies on simulation tools for the practical lessons, which have also demonstrated positive outcomes as ICT support, together with collaborative work, as other studies enhanced [20].…”

“…Over the last decade, technical education in universities has experienced a reformulation brought by innovative methodologies, which in most cases are actually recognized as the present model for todays' education. Focusing on areas related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and more particularly to engineering, the trend heads towards new communication strategies [1,2] sustained by a common framework of ICT resources. This fact fosters the integration of blended and fully online methodologies, which again, demonstrate promising results in a wide range of scenarios [3][4][5][6].…”

University education approaches related to the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), have generally particularized on teaching activity and learning programs which are commonly understood as reoriented lessons that fuse theoretic concepts interweaved with practical activities. In this context, team work has been widely acknowledged as a means to conduct practical and hands-on lessons, and has been revealed to be successful in the achievement of exercise resolution and design tasks. Besides this, methodologies sustained by ICT resources such as online or blended approaches, have also reported numerous benefits for students’ active learning. However, such benefits have to be fully validated within the particular teaching context, which may facilitate student achievement to a greater or lesser extent. In this work, we analyze the impact of attendance modalities on the learning performance of a STEM-related course on “Machines and Mechanisms Theory”, in which practical lessons are tackled through a team work approach. The validity of the results is reinforced by group testing and statistical tests with a sample of 128 participants. Students were arranged in a test group (online attendance) and in a control group (face-to-face attendance) to proceed with team work during the practical lessons. Thus, the efficacy of distance and in situ methodologies is compared. Moreover, additional variables have also been compared according to the historical record of the course, in regards to previous academic years. Finally, students’ insights about the collaborative side of this program, self-knowledge and satisfaction with the proposal have also been reported by a custom questionnaire. The results demonstrate greater performance and satisfaction amongst participants in the face-to-face modality. Such a modality is prooven to be statistically significant for the final achievement of students in detriment to online attendance.

“…These teaching methodologies have been applied since 2015 in this subject (authors' publications [60][61][62]) with satisfactory results. The slightly increasing trend (Figure 9) in the final marks of the subject demonstrates this, as does the increase in satisfaction with the performance of the different methodologies.…”

Encouraging the use of active-learning methodologies, both inside and outside the classroom by means of planned activities, is a key factor in effective learning, as well as being essential for students to achieve the goals set for each subject by making them responsible for their own learning. In this longitudinal and quantitative study, we describe the different active learning activities, such as Flipped Classroom, Design Thinking, Visual Thinking, and Project-Based Learning (PBL), undertaken from 2015 to 2018 in the compulsory subject Graphic Expression imparted during the first year from all the degree studies of the Escola d'Enginyeria de Barcelona Est from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-UPC BarcelonaTech. The introduction of active-learning teaching methodologies for the solving of problems with computer aided design throughout the course, with increasing complexity of exercise completion, has led to a significant improvement in academic results by students in this subject. The results show that the inclusion of these methodologies improves student learning, as seen through the group development of an engineering project presented on the conclusion of the course. PBL is the methodology that is most highly appreciated by students because it enables them to integrate all the skills and knowledge acquired throughout the course and is also the activity in which they obtain the best marks.

“…ICTs have quite a diverse range of uses in educational process, of which the main ones are: the use of ICT as a computing device and multimedia tools, to simulate various phenomena and processes, as a means for reinforcing the competences developed by students (Olmedo-Torre et al, 2017;Rambousek et al, 2015;Gastelú et al, 2015). Therefore, within the framework of the research, a pedagogical experiment was conducted to determine priority ICTs when studying geometry in schools, as well as the effectiveness of their use.…”

In the context of rapid technological changes and modernization of society, the issue of ensuring adequacy of content in secondary education based on the use of advanced information technologies (ICT) is being updated. The necessity of an appropriate level of primary intellectual activity development in a person in terms of the current trends in society has been determined. In this regard, the goal of the article is to argue advantages of using software products in geometry lessons in the secondary education system of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK). By the method of expert assessments, criteria for effectiveness of using ICT in geometry lessons have been developed to form applied geometric competencies in students. Functional advantages of certain software product types in the process of teaching geometry in secondary education have been substantiated. A set of practical tasks with the use of ICT for the academic discipline of geometry has been developed. Based on a pedagogical experiment, the effectiveness of using such ICTs in geometry lessons as Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel and AutoCAD ensuring applied orientation of the academic discipline has been substantiated and proved. The main problems of introducing ICT in the educational process in the current context have been identified. A set of practical measures has been presented that would contribute to effective and extensive ICT absorption in the process of teaching geometry in secondary education. The presented scientific research findings will contribute to implementation of the advanced education concept and its computerization under the conditions of information society development.
