Memoria de proyectos de innovación y buenas prácticas docentes. Aprendizaje cooperativo aplicado a materias de másteres de ciencias de la salud. Valoración de conocimientos previos y prueba de evaluación a través del trabajo en grupo

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of this work is to bring cooperative learning strategies to evaluation, also using ICTs as a gamification tool. Methodology: Participants in two university master's degrees in the health sciences branch of the University of Granada. The majority profile of the participants is graduates in psychology, nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and social work. Cooperative learning has been tested at two different times: at the beginning of the course, to activate and evaluate previous knowledge and expectations regarding content, and as part of the final evaluation of the subject. In both cases, the Kahoot platform has been used as a tool, through which an individual and a group evaluation have been carried out, and the differences in the results obtained and the possibilities between both alternatives have been discussed. The phases of the study are: 1) Evaluation of prior knowledge and expectations regarding content; 2) Realization of individual and group final evaluation tests of the learning contents; and 3) Assessment of the innovation experience. The assessment of the results of the experience has been carried out using two procedures: a) Comparison of the individual and group score for each student and, b) Questionnaire of satisfaction to the students about the experience. Likewise, the degree of agreement with this evaluation system and overall satisfaction with the experience have been consulted. Results: The results of the teaching innovation experience using cooperative learning strategies applied to subjects of health sciences masters, respond to the initial objectives. We have found a positive effect both in terms of learning content, and in the acquisition or reinforcement of skills. Conclusions: Cooperative learning is a very useful strategy for the acquisition of group work skills, especially in the context of Health Sciences students.
