- Abstract
The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has resulted in a fundamental change in the way that the educational process is implemented and organized. This creates an important challenge to higher education institutions to enhance students' specific and generic competences acquisition and promote an active and autonomous learning process, involving students in it. The present study aims to investigate the role of press as a learning tool in resolving this key challenge and responds to the requirements and principles established by the EHEA. In doing so, we describe the process by which we introduce the press as a learning tool and the activity in which we integrate this learning tool (press dossier), analysing students' learning improvements. Several metrics are presented that measure students' perceptions about the role of press in learning activities (through students' opinions) as well as student performance outcomes, both in the activity and in the course (through the marks of the press dossier and the course exam). Research results demonstrate the benefits of introducing press as a learning tool in Higher Education to promote and enhance student performance. Students who have participated in this activity not only have increased the specific competences related to the course, but have also improved their generic competences and have participated actively in the learning process.
