Abstract:
An increasing number of new learning techniques is being used and implemented in the new studies ECTS. The student's educational development has moved from teaching to learn. Teaching techniques used as cooperative work, in which techniques are working in formal and informal small groups. Cooperative learning requires a division of tasks among the group. For example, the professor poses a problem and indicates what to do each group member, each being responsible for the solution of one part of the problem. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups where students work together to maximize their own learning and that of others. The collaborative approach requires further prepared to work with groups of students. Applications of learning techniques based on the case. The Case Method (CM), also called analysis or case studies as learning technique originated at the University of Harvard (about 1914), so that law students in learning the laws, will face real situations and had to take decisions, assess performance, make judgments founded, and so on. Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the methods of teaching - learning that has taken root in most higher-education institutions in recent years. The project-based learning group is characterized by the Professors and students do group work on real issues that they have been selected according to their interests. Project-Based Learning involves forming teams of people with different profiles, disciplinary areas, professions, languages and cultures working together to carry out projects to solve real problems. These differences offer great opportunities for learning and prepare students for work in an environment and a diverse and global economy. For the results of work by a team under the Project-Based Learning to be successful, it requires a defined instructional design, definition of roles and fundamentals of design projects.
