Perception of the Acquisition of Competences for University Professors in a Context of Problem-Based Learning methodology

Abstract

This research evaluates the perception of the acquisition of some relevant competences before and after the PBL course for the teaching staff. The perception improves in competences related to the appropriate use of ICTs and problem-solving skills, showing statistically significant differences in the ability for organization and planning of work, autonomous learning and the appropriate use of ICTs. Finally, regarding the course evaluation, university professors remark the practical use of the training course, the teaching staff and the interest of the activity (with values about 4.5 out of 5).
