Guided Research: Pedagogical Innovation Applied to the Teaching of Acoustics

Abstract

Acoustics is an intrinsically interdisciplinary science that has changed the way it has been taught in recent decades. Currently in higher education its teaching is varied and even opposed, applying methods such as theoretical-practical lectures to problem-based learning where the student is the main protagonist of their own learning, since the inquiry conducted by the student leads the process. At the same time, the new paradigms of higher education prioritize students'research skills. This document describes two examples of guided research, applied pedagogical innovation in the subject Fundamentals of Acoustics and Electroacoustic of the National Technological University, showing favourable results in the learning process.
