Production of videos by students as a way of learning: an experience in higher education engineering courses
| Resumo: | This study reports on part of a pedagogical experience with engineering students from a Portuguese higher education institution, in a year when it was necessary to resort to emergency remote teaching due to the pandemic. The students, with the teacher’s guidance, were responsible for producing videos about the contents. In general terms, they had to produce the videos, share them with their classmates, give a short presentation in class, and answer questions from their peers. This process allowed the topics of the course unit, which are quite theoretical, to be discussed with greater involvement from the whole class. It also allowed the students to take co-responsibility for peer learning, since the videos would serve as information for their colleagues and the depth of the debate would depend on the presentations, the questions asked, and the ability of each group to respond. Apart from the logistics associated with working remotely, the main difficulties were finding and selecting relevant and appropriate information and responding clearly to colleagues’ questions. However, working to overcome these aspects was also a source of learning, both from the point of view of the course contents and the development of transversal skills, which are important for an engineer’s professional future. |
