Empleo de las Tutorías Colectivas para el Fomento de la Interacción Profesor - Alumno en el Aprendizaje de Asignaturas de Química Analítica en el Grado de Ingeniería Química Industrial

Abstract

In this work, we assessed the efficiency of collective tutorials as a helping tool for thelearning of Analytical Chemistry subjects in the Industrial Chemistry undergraduateprogramme offered by the Higher Polytechnical School of Linares (Jaen, Spain). Tothis end, the teacher conducted the following collective tutorials over the course oftwo academic years: (a) an initial session to explain the teaching methods to beused; (b) another session to watch educational science documentaries; (c) severalsessions of group work devoted to practical case-solving and conclusion-drawing;and (d) several more sessions to solve students’ doubts about the different topicsdealt with in the subjects. The outcome was highly positive in terms of studentcooperation, student–teacher exchange of ideas, and students’ uninhibition and selfassurance in dealing with the target topics
