O uso de metodologias ativas de ensino e aprendizagem no ensino superior: um comparativo entre UTFPR e UMINHO

Abstract

This work aims to establish a comparison regarding to the use of active methodologies and innovation in teaching at the Technological University of Paraná and the University of Minho. Higher education institutions, together with their faculty, have been promoting discussions on the use of active learning methodologies around the world. Thus, we chose to analyze the use of active methodologies in the teaching and learning process in engineering courses, as the curriculum are similar in the two universities. Performing a section of the implementation of innovative actions in engineering education at UTFPR and UMINHO, followed of a systematic review of the use of Active Methodologies in Engineering Education, where it is possible to observe gaps and fragmentation in the methods used in the studies carried out, as there is a reflection of the need for interdisciplinarity in practices and their relationship with the world of work which is still superficial. And finally, as a product, a pedagogical proposal for higher education and organization of templates with the most used methodologies in higher education. For this, the research methodology used was qualitative with a descriptive and exploratory character, addressing a bibliographic and documentary study, seeking support in institutional documents and curriculum of the courses already mentioned. There is a movement in the use of active learning methodologies, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects and technologies. However, we can observe fragmented teaching, which is not very interdisciplinar, but in search of new paths, in which the student is the protagonist, where he is inserted in the labor market and in problem solving, thus acquiring specific knowledge and skills in the chosen profession.
