- Abstract
The labour market has been making increasing demands on university students for some decades now. It is therefore necessary for the University to promote models focused on the intellectual, personal and emotional development of students, as well as optimizing the transition of graduates to active professional life and responding to the social and employment challenges they face. Based on this reality, the need to address in the work presented the analysis of the practice of innovative methodologies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is justified. In order to respond to this need, this research aims, on the one hand, to describe the assessments made by students on the technical, methodological, participatory and personal competences acquired through the PBL methodology and, on the other hand, to learn whether there are significant differences in their assessments according to the different university degrees present in the sample. For this purpose, a survey type study was carried out, performing a descriptive analysis and contrast tests to obtain differences in skill acquisition scores between students by group. The resulting sample was 1,065 students from the University of Seville. The results show a generally positive attitude of the students towards the application of the PBL methodology, giving the competences acquired a medium-high rating, higher in the educational branch than in health. At the same time, evidence shows that the participatory and personal competences are those that have been acquired to a lesser extent. Among the conclusions, the effectiveness of the PBL methodology when acquiring competencies over other traditional methodologies should be highlighted.
