Aprendizaje basado en proyectos con edificaciones históricas: inmersión en entornos reales de formación para el Grado en Arquitectura Técnica - [Project-based learning with historic buildings: immersion in real training environments for the Degree in Technical Architecture]

Abstract

- University education in the knowledge branches of Engineering and Architecture, has usually been based on the system of assignments and projects as a practical dynamic of training and assessment in many subjects. With the EHEA arrival, the search for new complementary systems more focused on learning than on teaching or, in other words, on the student than on the teacher, boosted the commitment to the methodology known as Project Based Learning (PBL), oriented to the development of technical skills in contexts similar to those produced in professional environments. In general, these pedagogical scenarios are built on the basis of theoretical models inspired by real cases to a greater or lesser extent. This paper analyzes the method implemented since the 2017-2018 academic year to innovate in the compulsory subject of Rehabilitation, Restoration and Pathology of the Technical Architecture Degree at the European University Miguel de Cervantes, when the PBL applied in case studies of existing historic buildings; providing students with heritage constructions to visit, recognize, measure, diagnose, draw, rehabilitate, restore, etc., and allowing their immersion in situations that introduce them to their future work practice reality.
