Instructional Design using PBL Active Methodologies in the Teaching of Graphic Engineering
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to increase our understanding about active learning effects, applying PBL methodologies, students’ to increase the motivation in various class groups of a Graphic Engineering subject. The measurement instruments were a cross-sectional survey carried out (n = 269) during the years 2015 to 2019 through triangulation of data analysis. A quantitative comparison of the students' evaluations has also been carried out. This research aims to provide new evidence to improve learning using active learning methodologies. The development of these teaching activities, in addition to promoting creative and innovative thinking in students, has contributed to the improvement in the visualization of geometric models and the understanding of statements and solutions.
