Interdisciplinary Tutoring for the Development of Professional-Simulation Role-Plays

Abstract

Current society is characterised by a growing tendency of interrelationship among different professional sectors in order to offer their potential customers a better quality of certain products or process. Thereby, and in the context of this interdisciplinarity, higher-education teachers must frame their teaching methodologies mainly focused on the acquisition of certain competences so that students could guarantee the development of their professional abilities. Taking this as a premise, we have performed an interdisciplinary role-play so as to allow our students to acquire those professional competences. However, to carry out this performance a well-organised tutorial plan, divided into several tutoring sessions, was required to succeed in the use of this active methodology.
