Aprender Enseñando: Elaboración de Materiales Didácticos que facilitan el Aprendizaje Autónomo

This paper presents an educational method developed by students and instructors from three engineering majors and two secondary schools. During the semester students were instructed to make eight videos on practical topics covered in geomatics classes. Working on these videos enabled students to learn more about the subject while teaching others, in an active and selfdirected learning environment using Information and Communication Technologies in multidisplinary groups and supervised workshops. At the end of the project, the educational method was evaluated by using surveys completed by the students. The Wilkoxon test was then used to analyze the surveys. The results show that there were significant differences between the two teaching methods and that method presented here presents clear advantages. Therefore it is recommend to be used in higher education curricula.
