Aprendizaje basado en retos en un entorno virtual de educación superior

Abstract

Challenge-based learning is a methodology that puts the student at the center of learning by involving the search for a solution to a real problem in its context, raised through an open question. At the International University of La Rioja, we applied this pedagogical approach in the Master's Degree in Educational Innovation, which is taken completely online, and we questioned the students about their satisfaction. Students had to solve a challenge for each module in teams of 3 or 4 students. The teachers, in addition to teaching their classes, offered tutoring sessions to support the solution of the challenges to the students. Microsoft teams was the tool used to develop the challenge, where the students shared the results of their searches, their files, their meetings and their discussions. To proceed with teamwork, the students signed a work agreement and a code of conduct at the beginning of the challenge. The students consider it as a useful methodology for learning and that they have developed various professional skills, especially their analytical skills.
