(332) AN ATTRACTIVE PROPOSITION TO TEACH MATHEMATICS AT MASTER'S DEGREE LEVEL

摘要

This paper is devoted to the analysis of a teacher proposal. The proposal has been initially thought fora course included in the Master's Degree in Road, Canal and Port Engineering, but it will be extendedto other undergraduate courses. It is one of the only two subjects that are not taught by the specificdepartment of the degree, hence it is very important to provide classes as attractive for the studentsas possible. We also plan to export the system presented in this work to subjects where we teachmathematics in English. The advantages for students of a system where they can follow theexplanations (not in their mother tongue) more than once at any place and time are evident.Our approach includes works, exhibitions and written tests both for individual students and for groupsof students. On the other hand, we are using a wide variety of media, from classical blackboard to ebeamblackboard, teaching through video or using the advantages that Internet provides. This obeysto the fact that the new plans for Masters and Degrees must be oriented to satisfy the requisitesimposed by the European space for higher education. In this context, it is very important to adapt thecontents of the different subjects to new technologies so they are more appealing for students andaccessible (including theoretical explanations) at any place and time.The results obtained in the past few years of implementation have been very good for students and forteachers. Ideas about how to improve the way we distribute the media contents of the subject will bepresented.
