Mixing collaborative learning techniques for practice evaluation in networking

Abstract

Generally, every higher education subject is based on a unique teaching methodology. So, the skills learned by the students are focused to a unique goal in each subject and it is needed many subjects, using different learning methods, to develop several skills. This paper deals with a learning method that is being used in the practices of a postgraduate course in the Higher Polytechnic School of Gandia. The proposed method is broken down into several stages and each stage is based on the previous one. Every stage tries to enhance a specific skill although all stages use a collaborative method, not only inside groups, but even between groups. The paper will show the results given by a survey, where the students give their feedback anonymously, and we will discuss the measurements taken.
