- Active learning with technology: developing practical skills with a flexible teaching platformPublication . Rafael, Silviano; Justino, JúliaThe laboratory classes allow students to deal with the equipment and technology, to study techniques and to analyse, model and test the laboratory procedure. The active construction of knowledge in a laboratory environment is strongly based on experimentation, requiring an extensive workload of laboratory practices. In this paper, a flexible laboratory platform for teaching and learning, developed for enhancing practical learning experiences within industrial automation process for engineering students, is presented as an innovative, transformative, technological and feasible alternative to classic laboratories, which are much more expensive. Through pedagogical techniques of active learning depending on the complexity knowledge level of the topics addressed, the laboratory practices provide a bridge of knowledge between the theoretical and the practical contents, developing critical sense, teamwork, autonomy, time management, problem-solving, among other soft skills, which strongly contributes to a solid training for engineering labour market current need.
- Pedagogical approach for BUILD2050 pilot training projectPublication . Rafael, Silviano; Justino, Júlia; Lucas, SusanaThis paper presents the 5-step pedagogical framework implemented in the European project Training for Sustainable and Healthy Building for 2050 (BUILD2050), funded by the Erasmus+ Programme KA220. This project is an integrated and transnational pilot training composed of eight training courses, across six different higher education institutions of five European countries, that are designed to respond to the emerging challenges at European level in the different areas of construction: renovation, healthy and sustainable buildings. All the pedagogical steps of this framework are presented and some difficulties and results of its implementation are reported. This pedagogical framework promotes the diversification and creativity of the learning and teaching activities for the European students attending these training courses.
- Why is it so difficult to apply student-centered approach?Publication . Rafael, Silviano; Justino, JúliaIt is common to think about generational differences. However, it is rare for the teaching-learning process to adapt to the characteristics of new generation students that currently attend courses in higher education. Despite the Bologna directives proposing student-centered approach for the new generation curricu lums, this implementation process is still far from complete. This paper presents the pedagogical methodologies most applied in a Portuguese higher educational institution of engineering and the difficulties in implementing the student-centered approach from the institutional point of view and from the teacher’s point of view. Also, possible solutions are proposed for the different points of view, giving the reasoning for the application of the student-centered approach.
