Resumo: | Introduction: Higher education is normally associated to a more traditional way of teaching which does not fall within the current Bologna process, the characteristics of young students or the changing demands of our society. Nowadays, students must be prepared with a high-level of social skills and knowledge that is required in a labour market that is in permanent transformation. Objectives: Describe group-based or cooperative learning strategies applied in higher education degrees of social sciences and educational areas. Methods: The developed research is characterized as being a qualitative descriptive study with the aim of overcoming a comprehensive summarization of specific strategies experienced by two groups of higher education students. Results: The research suggests that students learn best when they are actively involved in activities where critical and creative thinking is promoted, resulting in better grades, a higher satisfaction with their academic progress and a lower probability of dropping out. Conclusion: It is essential to reflect on pedagogical practices and consequently adopt new strategies developed in student-centered learning environments that increase the quality of higher education, making it more appropriate for the current reality of the job market. |

Hoy en día, los estudiantes deben estar preparados con un alto nivel de habilidades sociales y conocimientos necesarios en un mercado laboral que cambia constantemente. Objetivos: Describir estrategias de aprendizaje cooperativas, desarrolladas en grupos, aplicadas en cursos superiores en las áreas de las ciencias sociales y de la educación. Métodos: La investigación llevada a cabo destaca por su carácter cualitativo y por ser esencialmente descriptivo, ya que presenta, de forma holística, estrategias específicas aplicadas a dos grupos de estudiantes de enseñanza superior. Resultados: La investigación sugiere que los estudiantes aprenden mejor cuando participan activamente en actividades en las se fomenta el pensamiento crítico y creativo, resultando en mejores clasificaciones, en una mayor satisfacción con su trayectoria académica y en una menor probabilidad de abandono. Conclusiones: Es esencial reflexionar sobre las prácticas pedagógicas y, en consecuencia, adoptar nuevas estrategias desarrolladas en entornos de aprendizaje centrados en los estudiantes, que aumenten la calidad de la enseñanza superior, para que se adecue mejor a la realidad laboral actual.Introdução: O ensino superior está normalmente associado a uma formação mais tradicional/expositiva que não se enquadra com o atual processo de Bolonha, as características dos jovens estudantes ou as exigências que advêm das constantes transformações da sociedade. Hoje em dia, os estudantes devem estar preparados com um elevado nível de competências sociais e conhecimentos que são necessários num mercado de trabalho que se altera permanentemente. Objetivos: Descrever estratégias de aprendizagem cooperativas, desenvolvidas em grupos, aplicadas em cursos superiores nas áreas das ciências sociais e das ciências da educação. Métodos: A investigação desenvolvida é caracterizada como sendo qualitativa, sendo um estudo essencialmente descritivo, já que apresenta, de forma holística, estratégias específicas aplicadas junto de duas turmas de estudantes do ensino superior. Resultados: A investigação sugere que os estudantes aprendem melhor quando estão ativamente envolvidos em atividades onde o pensamento crítico e criativo é cultivado, resultando em melhores classificações, numa maior satisfação com o seu percurso académico e numa menor probabilidade de abandono. Conclusões: É essencial refletir sobre as práticas pedagógicas e, consequentemente, adotar novas estratégias desenvolvidas em ambientes de aprendizagem centrados nos estudantes, que aumentem a qualidade do ensino superior, tornando-o mais adequado à realidade laboral atual.Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV)2020-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.29352/mill0212.05.00295eng1647-662X0873-3015Mangas, Catarinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-06-15T15:01:55Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/19244Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:29:29.684324Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
