Estrategias Metacognitivas en los Procesos Creativos. Taller Urbano como Espacio Integrador en la Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad del Bío Bío (Concepción, Chile)

Abstract

This article proposes an evaluation of how metacognition can help to consolidate the problem-based learning methodology and shed light on the importance of its incorporation into the processes of teaching architecture and creative processes. The results of the application of the metacognitive analysis in Taller V (Workshops of Urban Design) are exposed. This subject is taught during the last academic year of the Architecture Career at the University of Bío Bío. Taller V integrates the previous knowledge acquired in the theoretical subjects of Urbanism I, II y III and the practical subjects of Taller I to IV by means of the method of learning based on problems. The Knowledge and Prior Study Inventory instrument and the focus group were used. The results show that the use of this tools generated positive outcomes allowing to become aware of the abstract knowledge acquired along the creative process.
