Project-based learning used for teaching electrical installations and lighting installations in architecture
Abstract: Purpose: This paper
discusses the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the subject
"Acondicionamiento y Servicios 2", which is taught at the Escuela de
Arquitectura at the UPV.
Design/methodology/approach: Case study.
Findings: The results show that the goals (motivation, improved learning
outcomes, independent learning and connection with professional practice),
which led to the introduction of this kind of learning, have been achieved.
Research limitations/implications: This work has been proved in two
groups of a subject. Therefore, conclusions are specifically related to this
context and generalization is not proved.
Practical implications: Increase motivation, improved learning outcomes,
independent learning and connection with professional practice.
Originality/value: This work confirms previous studies about the useful
of PBL in engineering matters.
Keywords: projects,
cooperative work, formative assessment, motivation, electrical installations,
lighting installations
