Abstract:

The higher education area needs new methodological implementations that facilitate active learning. Because of this, the Vice Rector Department of Studies and European Convergence (VECE), with support from the Institute of Educational Sciences (ICE) and the Commission for Evaluation and Monitoring Innovation Projects and Convergence (CESPIC) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) has developed an initiative called Teams for Innovation and Educational Quality (in spanish EICE), carrying out a project of Educational Innovation and Improvement (PIME).

Therefore, this text aims to demonstrate the experience developed in the PIME I in the subjects of construction and economy teached on first semester of the first year of the Degree in Technical Architecture (UPV), for the development of a Business Plan in the Construction sector.

The methodology used is based on activities for projects, so that the student uses the acquired knowledge actively to the development of a project interconnecting the competency of the different subjects.

The results show that this methodology has allowed the interdisciplinary knowledge of both subjects. This allows watertight knowledge a priori of the two subjects, can be understood and work together, assimilating and applying the same concepts. Thanks to that, the student performance has been much positive due to prior knowledge on the subject to be treated and its direct application.
