The educational methods that promote active learning are based on the constructivist theory on learning. According to this theory the students are the core and the protagonists of the educational process, and they decide when and how to learn. In this process the professor is only a guide who motivates and gives feedback to the students. With this purpose in the Structural Engineering courses offered to the students of the civil engineering and architecture undergraduate programs at the Javeriana University, tools of active learning have been implemented. These tools have been related, in some cases, with examples of applied research of the research group Estructuras. In small workgroups students experiment with existing structural models of the structural lab and with models designed and constructed by themselves. As a consequence of these activities, the motivation and enthusiasm of the students have increased as well as the class attendance. Additionally, during the execution of the experiments a constant interest is observed and the students participate actively and formulate questions related to the behavior of the structural systems modeled. |
