The Impact of Project-Based Teaching on Technological Development and Critical Thinking Skills in Higher Education Students

Abstract

Project-based teaching (PBE) has emerged as an effective pedagogical strategy for the development of key skills in higher education, especially in areas such as critical thinking and technological competencies. This study analyzes the impact of EBP on the development of these skills in university students of technological careers. Through a mixed methodology that includes surveys and analysis of academic results, the progress of 120 students was evaluated before and after participating in a project-based course. The findings suggest that EBP not only significantly improves critical thinking skills, but also encourages a more efficient and creative use of technological tools.
