EDUCATIONAL PROPOSAL IN THE FACE OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN CONVERGENCE IN SPANISH UNIVERSITIES

摘要

In the face of the introduction into the European convergence, we plan to look for ways in which to help us improve the educational process. One of the objectives of this work has been to establish the coordination among the Technical Agricultural Engineering degree subjects. The aim objective has been to achieve an interrelation among the subjects, the idea being that the students are able to connect the different concepts they study in different subjects with the objective of achieving a wider and better overall view of these acquired concepts. To carry out this objective, an up to date inventory of the books available in our library has been completed of both posterior publications together with publications which we have at present in the library. In the same way, with the purpose of offering teaching material for the student's own consultation so that they can fulfil their new tasks in a modified system, information has been compiled on Web pages related to the contents of both subjects thus allowing the students to plan a coordinated program. Another objective has been the compilation of questionnaires on the Internet. The students can easily access these questionnaires and evaluate themselves as these pages are in test form and give both the solution as well as a brief explanation of the solution. Finally, a joint program of the Natural Environment Science and Plant Physiology subjects has been formed in which the interrelation that exists within the curriculum of the two subjects has been synthesized to show the areas where both subjects are connected. Moreover, a conference has been done to evaluate together both subjects.
