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...
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...
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...
Incorporating team-based learning into a fluid mechanics module: first insights
Sena-Esteves, Teresa; Ribeiro, Margarida; Bras-Pereira, Isabel; Morais, Cristina; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina PintoThe aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the use of Team-Based Learning (TBL) methodology in a module of a Fluid Mechanics course, namely fluids' viscosity. A questionnaire was answered by students, which comprised the degree of satisfaction with various types of teaching methodologies (traditional, TBL, among others). Students' grades obtained in that module, using TBL methodology, in average, show a ...
The Relationship of Higher Education Access with Final Marks in a Core Chemical...
Sena-Esteves, Maria Teresa; Morais, Cristina; Ribeiro, Margarida; Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina P.This present work cracks to understand the relationship between final marks in a topic with competences that are core of Chemical Engineering and students’ access grades to a Portuguese Higher Education Institution (HEI). The study is based on data gathered through a questionnaire concerning students’ perceptions about assessment and teaching-learning methodologies in four academic years (2016-2017 to 2019-2020...
Gender Differences in Students’ Assessment in a Fluid Mechanics Course
Sena-Esteves, Maria Teresa; Morais, Cristina; Ribeiro, Margarida; Pereira, Isabel; Guedes, Anabela; Soares, Filomena Baptista; Leao, 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...

Student’s perceptions regarding assessment changes in a fluid mechanics course
Sena-Esteves, Teresa; Morais, Cristina; Guedes, Anabela; Pereira, Isabel Brás; Ribeiro, Margarida Marques; Soares, Filomena; Leão, Celina PintoThe main objective of this study is to evaluate students’ perceptions regarding different methods of assessment and which teaching/learning methodologies may be the most effective in a Fluid Transport System course. The impact of the changes in the assessment methodology in the final students’ grades and attendance at theoretical classes is also analysed, and the results show that students’ attendance at theore...

A learning path for rational numbers through different representations
Guerreiro, Helena Gil; Morais, Cristina; Serrazina, Maria de Lurdes; Ponte, João Pedro daIn this paper, we aim to understand, in a context of teachers’ collaborative group, how emphasizing multiple representations can contribute to the learning of the rational numbers by elementary school students. We report part of a Design Based Research, within which a learning path for rational numbers was constructed and implemented in grade 3 classes. Data was collected through audio recordings of the collabo...
