Abstract:

This paper describes the study of the teaching-learning process developed, during the academic year, at practice classes (individual problems, laboratory, workshops, tutored/group works). This activities have been developed in subjects of technical degrees (Architecture and Engineering) at the Technical University of Cartagena, made by the University Team: “Activities for monitoring learning outcomes". The teaching methodology under analysis, used in practical clases, is the Learning-by-Doing methodology. The system used to perform the work is based on review of questionnaires filled out by the students (along different courses and degrees), during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic courses.

The information obtained through questionnaires, allows to know the involvement degree and the attitude of the students in their learning process, to encourage active participation in this learning process, and to apply their judgment and opinion about the adequacy of the training activities at practical classes. Likewise, the study results can provide guidelines for teachers to implement future changes in these e practice sessions in order to improve their teaching activity.
