Andragogical approach learning methodologies applied in subjects in the area of hardware

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to analyze the functionality of teaching and learning methodologies applied by teachers in the field of hardware in computer systems engineering courses. The theoretical foundation was based on topics such as assessment, methods of teaching and learning, teaching, hardware and engineering. The research, which was descriptive, quantitative type, raised the hypothesis in a logical mode involving the study of 3 variables:  field research, bibliography and a proposal of intervention. To test these assumptions, a survey technique was applied to 20 teachers in the area of hardware and 335 students chosen through stratified sampling, in order to collect information about the methodologies and teaching techniques applied in the process of learning of subjects in the area of hardware, and information about the learning theories that teachers apply, as well as their expertise on andragogy. As a result of this study an andragogy focused methodological guide was designed, which included strategies and techniques that, if applied with professional criteria, they may contribute to the improvement of quality in the learning processes of students, allowing them to develop skills and competencies that can be transferred to their cultural, productive, and social environment, where they will grow professionally.
