| Resumo: | During the academic years of 2004/05 and 2005/06 a new teaching methodology, inspired in the Bologna’s Treaty, was implemented in one of the nine undergraduate programmes offered by the School of Technology and Management of Bragança (Portugal). The goal was to increase the positive results for the students concerning the acquisition concerning the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Following the lessons of the evaluation literature, the present paper adopts a propensity score matching methodology aiming to quantify the causal effect of the new teaching methods. Preliminary results had shown a positive effect of the adopted teaching methods on the results of those students who had been exposed to them, in the first implementation year. However if the results of the methodology are observed one more year the conclusions are not so clear. |
