Abstract:
|
The RIMA project (Research and Innovation in Learning Methodologies, http://www.upc.edu/rima) is a proposal from Education
Science Institute (ICE) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-BARCELONATECH). The aim of this project is to
become a forum for sharing experiences between Communities of Practice (C of P) related to innovation teaching, learning
methodologies, or generic research skills in engineering education. Gradually, several professors and C of P have been
incorporated during this time, setting up a work map on teaching innovation areas and main items developed in our university.
Last years, in parallel with Bologna process in from ICE-UPC (BARCELONA-TECH), RIMA Project was designed for keep
together, in a virtual common space, all the Communities of Practice (C of P) related to skills and abilities. In this paper, by
analyzing RIMA C of P map, relating to technical degrees taught in UPC-BARCELONATECH, consolidated research areas in
educational innovation can be identified, related to skills and knowledge areas, in order to help improvement in teaching and
learning. The RIMA project has been identified as an innovative and helpful initiative, in technical universities ambit. |
