Assessment of collaborative learning skills acquired through the knowledge integration project

Abstract:

The present research study assesses the collaborative learning capacities acquired with the knowledge integration project and the perception of industrial engineering students towards this methodology at the Technical University of Manabí (Ecuador). This is an applied quantitative exploratory research study that applied an experimental research methodology. The industrial engineering degree is classified in three levels and student perception and collaborative learning capacities are analyzed. The results show improvement in student collaborative learning capacities during the degree study. Individual responsibility is the most developed capacity and there is an overall positive student perception of the process. It is concluded that the knowledge integration project should emphasize the promotion of the least developed collaborative learning capacities.
