Abstract:

At the moment in which we find it is impossible to think about teaching practice without connect it to the use of teaching resources. In this regard, the use of technological resources in education creates new methodological tools to response to European Higher Education Area (EHEA) requirements. Based on these principles, during the academic year 2011-2012, has been applied, along with traditional teaching methods, an audience response system that provides immediate feedback, to a sample of students of Industrial Engineering and Physiotherapy.
Therefore, it is essential to know the role of new technologies in the teaching-learning process, since if we can’t achieve the full educational potential of these tools, they won’t have much practical use. This paper analyzes from the teachers’ and students’ viewpoint the methodological effectiveness of introduce Self-paced testing of Turning Technologies.
