Aprendizaje basado en retos: Implementación interuniversitaria en la asignatura de Mejora Genética Animal - [Challenge-based learning: Cross-university implementation in Animal Breeding]

Abstract

- This paper examines the results obtained from the inter-university implementation of challenge-based learning (RBL) using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in animal breeding. The challenge faced by students consisted of managing the genetic improvement of a dairy cattle herd in an environment with real management and economic constraints using an online software online. The students achieved a positive evolution of the results along the challenge, confirming the PBA as a useful tool in learning the application of animal breeding. On the other hand, the student surveys showed, in all universities, a high satisfaction with this type of learning, although they indicated possible improvements in the initial explanation of the challenge. The application of ABR has been very positive both from the point of view of student participation and motivation, as well as with the development of critical thinking by the practical application of theoretical concepts.
