Analizando Variables del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos - [Analyzing Variables of Project Based Learning]

The emission of gases into the atmosphere has become one of the main problems of today's society. The advancement of science and technology could be a solution, but the reality of engineering university classrooms is that the number of students decreases progressively. A research group from the University of Huelva is developing the Sustainable Urban Race (SUR) project to encourage technical vocations in pre-university students. Through the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) the participating centers must build a solar vehicle that is capable of transporting at least one person in an urban environment. PBL has traditionally been associated with student engagement and good results, however, not all experiences are satisfactory enough as they require a high degree of organization. Although many of its keys to success are known, there is still a lack of studies that analyze the mechanisms that influence the success or failure of experiences. The objective of this work is to identify and analyze those PBL variables that influence the learning outcome through this methodology during two editions of the SUR Project (2018 and 2019).
