Abstract
Pre-university teachers have probed experience in applying new and innovative teaching methods, so we have been guided by professors from the High School “Cristo Rey Jaén” to develop these techniques in the scope of applicability of a Teaching Innovation Project titled “Transfer of collaborative teaching techniques from pre-university levels to practical classes at the University of Jaén”, that we obtained from this University and that implies the joint effort of four areas of knowledge in the Faculty of Experimental Sciences at the University of Jaén. Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a pedagogical approach and curriculum design methodology often used in higher education, has been used in practical classes in the Microbiology Unit. We have detected higher drive in both, teachers and students in those practical classes conducted with this methodology, when compared to traditional techniques. Proficiency acquired by students was also higher when applying this methodology, so we conclude it can be perfectly transposed to University in order to improve the understanding of the theoretical basis of practical classes, the competence acquisition by students and to increase the motivation of both, teachers and students.
