Trabajando con pósteres: Una herramienta para el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicación en la educación de pregrado

Abstract

The teaching experience with a university career about the use of poster for presenting a defined work, similar to what is used in congress and conferences. The careers at the University of Talca promote workgroup and communicational skills as part of the formation of the students. Thus, using qualitative and non-parametric quantitative analyses, the academic progress during the preparation and presentation of the posters of a group of students was analyzed. Results show that more than about 67% of the group reports that it was their first time using posters in their academic training and more than 80% of the students valued this experience as positive or very positive. Finally, students report that this kind of work allows them to develop communication skills that are highly needed in the professional market.
