Implementación del aprendizaje basado en proyectos en laboratorios de Química Analítica del grado de Química

Abstract

The project-based learning methodological strategy (PBL) has been implemented in analytical chemistry laboratories, specifically in the subject of Basic Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry of the Chemistry Degree, with the aim of providing a general context to laboratory practices, improving the critical evaluation of the results obtained and promoting collaborative work. For this purpose, five different topics have been proposed for students to develop a project, setting out its driving question and the analytical determinations (parameters and samples) necessary to achieve it. The implementation of these projects has facilitated the generation of a large volume of interrelated results that has allowed students to work the critical evaluation of the results in greater depth. The achievement of the objectives proposed for the implementation of PBL has been demonstrated through anonymous student surveys and by comparison with four other groups of the same subject taught in the same academic year.
