Challenges in the transition towards courses focused on project-based learning

Abstract

The study program of the Degree in Technical Architecture and Building of the Escola Politècnica Superior d'Edificació de Barcelona underwent, in 2019, a modification that, among other things, introduced each quarter project-based learning through courses consisting on workshops. The details of this reform, which was implemented during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic years, as well as the difficulties in its implementation, were the subject of a communication in the last edition "Edifícate 2021". On this occasion, our goal is to analyze the performance of the workshops and their effect on the students’ learning and on the dynamics of the rest of the courses that interact with them.
