New methodological approaches and paradigms in the pedagogy of systems engineering

Abstract

Introduction: Introduction: the literature review article is a product of the research "New Methodological Approaches and Paradigms in the Pedagogy of Systems Engineering" developed at the University of the Amazonia during the year 2020. Problem: the new challenges that systems engineering faces require the development of an integrated approach in the contents that are seen in the academic training processes, besides they imply significant changes in the methodologies and styles of teaching and learning. Objective: to analyze the methodological approaches and international paradigms in engineering pedagogy and teaching that have produced better results. Methodology: the existing literature on New Methodological Approaches and Paradigms in Systems Engineering Pedagogy was analyzed in a local, national and global context. The databases ScienceDirect, Scielo, Proquest, Web of Science Engineering, Scopus, Dialnet were intensively reviewed. Results: A comparison is established between international pedagogical approaches and those that have been developed in Colombia, to identify the key methods and principles that national universities should integrate to promote the development of more creative professionals with greater innovation capacities. Conclusion: international teaching models choose to generate professionals who have more problem-solving skills, in the midst of a practical approach that allows them to influence and transform reality. Originality: it is based on understanding the new teaching approaches from a particular reading of the current reality and the specific needs of the market in the digital era Limitations: the lack of primary sources such as interviews, through which the perceptions of university managers or engineering teachers are consulted.
