Una propuesta de Innovación Docente en el entorno de las asignaturas técnicas = A proposal for Teaching Innovation in the environment of technical subjects

With the new course curriculum implementation in 2012 at the School of Architecture, substantial changes were introduced that affect the teaching methodology and the learning process. This new plan entails the inclusion of autonomous learning hours (not requiring attendance) as a part of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credit. This change implies a reduction in the lectures and the necessity of students’ larger implication in their learning process.In 2018, with the Department of Architectural Construction I support, a website was launched to spread the assignments done by the students that complement the lectures and reflect the use of the autonomous learning hours that are part of the ECTS. The inclusion of this digital tool in the instructional process has the following objectives. Firstly, deal with the weaknesses and difficulties detected in the daily learning in three ways: review the students’ previous subject knowledge, consolidate the basic theorical and procedural knowledge in each lesson, and revise this content with a view to the final evaluation. Secondly, to promote the students’ active implication in their own and their peers learning.The results obtained since this pedagogical design has been implemented reflect great advances, inside and outside the Construction subject, that confirm its usefulness and interest as a learning tool. Likewise, the grades of the groups where the pedagogical design has been implemented confirm its success due to the amount of knowledge with which the students overcome the subject. Currently, and at the request of the students, this project continue growing and strengthening for other subjects and degree courses
