Abstract:

Most of the mathematics subjects of the degrees in Engineering are part of the basic training of these, its fundamental objective being to ensure that the student acquires basic knowledge in Mathematics, necessary for a rational understanding of other disciplines of their degree. Either due to the demotivation of taking subjects not directly related to their studies, the low level reached in pre-university education, the level of abstraction or the need to develop deductive logical reasoning, in general, learning these subjects at the university level presents many difficulties.

As it is well known, video is one of the means or didactic resources that, pedagogically used, serves to facilitate the transmission of knowledge for teachers and for students to assimilate it. Recent studies show the importance that video has gradually acquired as a substantial educational resource, pointing out that this format is already universal in the training of young people. The use of audiovisuals in the teaching-learning process allows each student to learn at their own pace, where and when it best suits them, with sessions, eminently practical, (aimed at providing skills and information necessary to be successful in learning the content of a course). Aware of the shortcomings of our students, through various innovation projects we set out to create accessible audiovisual resources in a web space for some subjects taught by the teachers involved in this work. This material has contributed to the improvement of the teaching and learning of these subjects, as we have verified by the wide acceptance of it by our students, with some of them even requesting this type of material for other subjects. The obligatory nature of a non-face-to-face teaching this last year, motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic that we are suffering, has only given more value to this type of material.
