Revisiting Team-Based Learning in a Fluid Mechanics Module: Enhancing Students’...
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Ribeiro, Margarida; Morais, Cristina; Brás-Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina P.This study investigates the evolution of students’ perceptions and experiences with Team-Based Learning (TBL) over three academic years (2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24) applied to the Fluid Mechanics course’ viscosity module of the second year of a chemical engineering degree, 1st semester. Through questionnaire data and qualitative evaluation, competences acquired and changes in teamwork and critical thinking we...
Beyond Scores: Early Findings on TBL's Impact in Engineering Education
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Ribeiro, Margarida; Morais, Cristina; Brás-Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina P.This paper presents the preliminary findings of an ongoing study investigating the influence of Team-Based Learning (TBL) on the academic performance of engineering students, particularly its impact on their grasp of subject matter and ability to solve real-world problems. Quantitative data analysis explored correlations between students' entry-level academic scores and their performance in a course incorporati...
Team-based learning to enhance student’ competencies in a fluid mechanics module
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Ribeiro, Margarida; Morais, Cristina; Brás-Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina P.To graduate students with the necessary qualities, competencies and understanding needed in professional life, Higher Education Institutions should do more than only teach content in a traditional way. Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a small-group-based active learning-teaching strategy which supports the development of essential competencies while controlling course content. In this paper a TBL experience ap plie...
Gender differences in students' assessment in a fluid mechanics course
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Morais, Cristina; Ribeiro, Margarida; Pereira, Isabel Brás; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina PintoThe main objective of the present work is to verify if, and in what extent, there is a correlation between gender and grades in a topic that is regarded as a core competence of chemical engineering. This analysis is based on data collected through a questionnaire concerning students' perceptions. Besides no statistical difference on final student's marks, specific differences were obtained and discussed, namely...
Teaching impact and evaluation methodology assessment in a fluid mechanics cour...
Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Morais, Cristina; Guedes, Anabela; Pereira, Isabel Brás; Ribeiro, Margarida; Leão, Celina Pinto; Soares, FilomenaFluid Transport Systems topic is of fundamental importance in most Engineering areas. In this topic basic knowledge must be taught yet students normally resist and do not perform well in theoretical syllabus. In order to reinforce the importance of these issues, and based on teachers' perceptions and experience, a change was made in the assessment process: a Practical Work and different moments and types of ass...
The flow of knowledge and level of satisfaction in engineering courses based on...
Leão, Celina P.; Soares, Filomena; Guedes, Anabela; Sena-Esteves, M. Teresa; Alves, Gustavo R.; Brás-Pereira, Isabel M.; Hausmann, RomeuIn this chapter, the results of a questionnaire are analyzed to assess engineering students’ satisfaction toward their courses, working conditions, and academic environment, as well as the flow of knowledge perception along the first three curricular years. With a sample of 654 students from four higher education institutions and two countries, the study focused in eleven items, concerning teachers’ involvement...
