Abstract


This paper aims to present an active learning model for the implementation of in-novative teaching-learning practices in Higher Education, based on Active Learn-ing Methodologies by highlighting especially, PBL – Problem Based Learning using Rapid Prototyping devices. In order to apply PBL’s methodology to the courses, an implementation model with four levels of implementation was devel-oped. Each level has four class attributes, which are the problem’s scope, student autonomy, teaching role and classroom space-time. The obtained results show that the students demonstrate higher levels of interest, participation, and involve-ment with classmates, motivation and content’s perennial assimilation. With the application of these methodologies, skills required by job market, such as team-work, relationship, collaboration, proactivity and entrepreneurship are also devel-oped.
