Mejora de las competencias gracias a la implantación de aprendizaje basado en proyectos en acuicultura - [Improve of competences through project-based learning in aquaculture]

Abstract

- This manuscript shows the experience of the implantation of a Project-Based Learning (ABP) in the subject "Design and Management of Fish Farming Facilities" in the Interuniversity Master's Degree in Aquaculture at the Universitat Politécnica de València . The ABP consisted in the development of a project for a fish farm, in which students had to integrate the knowledge acquired in previous subjects, allowing a more multidisciplinary learning and better acquisition of competences. Both from point of view, students and teachers, the implementation of ABP has allowed a greater development of competences, being the teaching methodology positively evaluated. In addition, student participation in the proposed activities was improved, resulting in a better final academic grade. However, some aspects should be improved, such as time planning and consolidating integration relationships or the interaction between different disciplines / subjects to achieve a better integration in the project.
