Abstract:

Forest hydrology is a specialised field of hydrology that studies the relationship between water and soil within the framework of forests. Environmental Impact, meanwhile, is a subject that seeks to reconcile human activity, anticipating and preventing the impacts that different actions or activities may generate, with the aim of minimising or reducing them. Given their great relevance in the field of natural resource management, these subjects form part of the curriculum of the Degree in Forestry Engineering. With the aim of training qualified professionals capable of addressing environmental challenges and water resource management, a Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology has been implemented, complemented by interactive learning support tools, such as Kahoot, which encourage student participation. This methodological approach allows students to apply theoretical concepts in a practical way and develop skills through problem-solving in real or similar projects. Preliminary results indicate that students appreciate the use of interactive tools such as Kahoot during theoretical classes, considering that it can benefit interaction with their peers and valuing its use for the assimilation of concepts. Furthermore, students consider that the application of PBL not only facilitates the understanding and assimilation of content but is also one of the most efficient ways of learning. The effective adoption of these tools, in the context of increasing digitalisation, enhances their role in improving student learning and participation. In addition, PBL fosters critical skills such as communication, collaboration and creativity. Overall, the combination of PBL and the use of Kahoot contributes to a more dynamic, participatory and effective education, preparing future forestry engineers to address environmental challenges with an interdisciplinary approach.
