The Work Experience of Graduates as a Motivating Element in the Teaching-Learning Process

Abstract

The current labour market context requires Universities to continuously adapt to changes to train students who can respond to the market's needs. Based on their professional experience, university graduates can and must be an essential element for university education to be in line with the labour market. This article presents a proposal for integrating graduates in the teaching-learning process, playing an active role. The study has been developed in the context of a bachelor's degree (Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering) and a master's degree (Master's Degree in Secondary School Teaching). The satisfaction survey results show that the experience has been very positive for our students. At the same time, it helps reduce the students' insecurity concerning their professional future.

Raising awareness of the important role of engineering in sustainable development

“…These instruments included pre-test/post-test assessments, which underwent validation by experts, as well as rubrics, which were also validated by experts. Additionally, a satisfaction questionnaire was utilized, and its validation was based on the research team's prior experience in similar studies [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] ].…”

“…The questionnaire draws upon prior experiences documented by researchers [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] ] within the Educational Evaluation and Guidance Group (GE2O), of which one of the researchers involved in this project is a member.…”
