“…With this aim in mind, various levels of evaluation have been perform (Dochy, 2001), (Dochy, 2006). Evaluation University Professor -Student "UP-S", (Lucas Yagüe et al, 2008) Evaluation External Expert -Student "EE-S", (Frances Lawrenz et al, 2012) Peer Evaluation -Student-Student "S-S", (Patri, 2002), (Harris & Brown, 2013) Self-Assessment-"SA", (Brown, 2005), (Khonbi & Sadeghi, 2013), (Barrett, 2007) The multilevel evaluation system generates a probability table composed by all the results achieved during the study period. The grades were obtained over the same set of evaluation criteria, which once organized, were statistically analyzed.…”

“…The baseline scenario thus described, raises some uncertainties about the adequacy of suggesting contents mainly based on writing, presenting and defending an exercise, report or project carried out by the students (Lucas Yagüe et al, 2008). Such an activity is highly demanding for students who, on the other hand, haven´t been properly prepared to conduct.…”

Even before the enactment of the new university regulatory framework defined in Europe by the "Bologna process", the University of Cadiz "UCA" (South-Spain) carried out pilot experiences to develop the accomplishment of final reports of several university degrees or/and masters. One of the first conclusions to be drawn from these first written reports was the significant arbitrariness and the disparities that defined the contents and methodology of the new courses called End Degree or/and Master Project (EDMP) included in the modules so appointed. In order to unify criteria and implement these experiences, it was then necessary to design a catalogue of training and tutored activities, to be used as a basis to assess the EDMP´s contents. Once the catalogue was designed, one subject was selected for its implementation. Finally, a rubric document was also applied to analyze the reliability of the evaluation and selection criteria, which was based on aspects such as the public presentation of works or performing a technical research. Results revealed that the original assessment criteria proposed may not be the most appropriate.

“…Las asignaturas experimentales del grado de Ingeniería Química Industrial, dentro del marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), incluyen prácticas de laboratorio como una de sus actividades docentes más comunes. Éstas ofrecen al estudiante la oportunidad de adquirir conocimientos y habilidades prácticas, habilidades interpersonales y de desarrollo personal, que lo formarán como profesional para la vida real (Lucas et al, 2008;Pinto Cañón & Martín Sánchez, 2012).…”

“…With regard to the degree of chemical engineering, the European Federation of Chemical Engineering recommends following the guidelines of the Bologna system to teach the concepts of this course in which skills related to the competencies of a chemical engineer are acquired. , In this sense, many chemical engineering students have trouble grasping relevant concepts such as the basis of the transportation of properties, operating basics, chemical kinetics, and so on; these guidelines can help them achieve academic success.…”

Thinking-Based Learning at Higher Education Levels: Implementation and Outcomes within a Chemical Engineering Class

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The teaching methodology known as thinking-based learning (TBL) is presented here in the scope of a chemical engineering class. This method has been tested experimentally for the past six years within a chemical engineering class which belongs to the chemistry bachelor’s degree in the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). Specifically, TBL was implemented by teaching complex concepts through comprehensive real-life examples. The study has revealed a positive outcome on the students’ academic performance, as an increased number of them take the final exam (around 40% more) and pass the class (about 27% increase), when compared to previous courses in which a more traditional teaching method was carried out. In addition, mostly positive feedback was received from the students that took the classes regarding the TBL approach. More than 81% of them think that this methodology is suitable and effective for teaching most chemical engineering concepts and expressed satisfaction toward this approach versus a classic one. On the other hand, many students feel that this technique would reduce the absenteeism because they are enjoying themselves even while learning commonly considered overwhelming chemical engineering concepts. The most frequently used adjectives by the students when describing this technique are “pleasant” and “entertaining”. Furthermore, the experience has encouraged some students to collaborate in the development of this teaching approach for other classes.
