Construcción de conocimiento sobre el medio ambiente con base en el método de proyectos

Abstract

This research study explores the processes of building knowledge and the acquisition of disciplinary competences by project-based learning in the field of higher education in engineering. The methodology is qualitative and applies an educational action-research approach to assess and enhance skills and promote sustainable interactions with the environment through specific projects. The results highlight the ability acquired by students to solve problems in their daily lives and projects, showing autonomy to make decisions, an aspect that brings them closer to the reality of professional practice. Their motivation for learning increases and they learn to work as a team and to relate with their surroundings. It is concluded that the method applied here enhances the creation of new and attractive learning environments, promoted by instructors, where projects can develop successfully.
