El reto de los dispositivos móviles en las aulas universitarias: una respuesta actual al trabajo autónomo y a la evaluación virtual

Abstract

Methodological project that aims to turn up mobile devices into an educational resource. It was implemented in a group of 421 students from the Faculties of Law and Social Sciences of Universiti Rovira i Virgili of Tarragona for two years. In this group, the use of mobile phones was used in classrooms. We readapted the traditional competencies and methodology to apply them to mobiles. The project was based on the practical experience with commercial apps, the analysis of the obtained results and the design, development and implementation of a new app. For its implementation, a Social Project Grant was created, aimed at gender equality for groups of students (women) vulnerable due to their religion or ethnicity. The results obtained were: greater motivation, participation, dynamism, reinvention of the methodology and the possibility of technological education. In conclusion, there was a response to the challenge of mobile devices in university classrooms.
