- PublicationQuality assessment program of the teaching activity of the higher education faculty staff. A case study(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-04-04) Llopis Albert, Carlos; Rubio Montoya, Francisco José; Zeng, Shouzhen; Devece Carañana, Carlos Alberto; Torner Feltrer, María Eugenia Milagro; Departamento de Organización de Empresas; Facultad de Administración y Dirección de Empresas; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica y de Materiales; Departamento de Mecánica de los Medios Continuos y Teoría de Estructuras; Instituto Universitario de Investigación Concertado de Ingeniería Mecánica y Biomecánica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación[EN] The European Higher Education area has as one of its axes of development the promotion of quality in universities. Within this framework, the assessment of the quality of the teaching staff is highly recommended. With this aim the Teaching Evaluation Support Programme (DOCENTIA) promoted by Spanish National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA) is designed to satisfy the needs of the higher education system for a model and procedures to guarantee the quality of the teaching activity while fostering its development and recognition. Currently, more than 90% of the Spanish universities participate in this program, throughout its different phases. This paper presents this program, explains how it is being implemented at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV, Spain), and provides the proposed amendments by the evaluation commission during the follow-up verification phase that must be justified and solved during the monitoring phase, which is currently in progress, to obtain the certification.
- PublicationTowards skill-based evaluation in a hybrid learning context: an experience in Aircraft Maintenance(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-04-04) Carreres Talens, Marcos; Navarro García, Roberto; Gómez Soriano, Josep; Tiseira Izaguirre, Andrés Omar; Departamento de Máquinas y Motores Térmicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Instituto Universitario de Investigación CMT - Clean Mobility & Thermofluids; Universitat Politècnica de València[EN] COVID-19 forced Higher Education to take place virtually. The evaluation process was particularly sensitive, mainly if it involved written tests. Still, it posed an opportunity to revise learning activities and evaluations. The Aircraft Maintenance course at UPV was driven from a content-based evaluation toward a skill-based one, replacing an open-answer test with a thorough assignment. Student grades and surveys motivated the perpetuation of the activity once students were back in a classroom.
- PublicationCreating new teaching contents with a design approach. How the use of design methodologies based on professional experiences can be used to create successful courses in a limited timeframe(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-04-04) Gaspar Quevedo, Francisco; Abarca Fernández, José Miguel; Departamento de Dibujo; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Grupo de Investigación y Gestión del Diseño[EN] The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the use of design thinking and other design methodologies to address the creation and implementation of a new subject in the Design Engineering and Product Development degree at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV). The main teaching objective for this subject is to improve the understanding and perception that students have of themselves, the degree, the profession and their future professional options.
- PublicationComprehensive educational model based on Challenge-Based Learning for the improvement of competency performance(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-04-04) Carmona-Fernández, Diego; Rodríguez-Méndez, Diego; Canito-Lobo, José Luis; Quintana-Gragera, Francisco; Carrasco-Amador, Juan Pablo; Marcos-Romero, Alfonso Carlos; Rodríguez-Rego, Jesús M.; Mendoza-Cerezo, Laura; European Commission[EN] "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". This phrase, attributed to Albert Einstein, contains a message that sums up what is happening in education systems. Fortunately, an increasing number of "madmen" are choosing to do something different to "innovate" in the teaching-learning process. This paper shows the influence of innovating in four key aspects that influence learning: instruction, methodology, space and time, if we want to improve competence performance and start to make the objectives of the Bologna Declaration a reality, through experiences carried out in the School of Industrial Engineering (EII) of the University of Extremadura.
- PublicationUniversity Entrepreneurship at the Service of Rural Society. The RuralYU Project as an Action Learning Process(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-04-04) Saiz Mauleón, María Begoña; Badía Madrigal, Irene; Górriz Salanova, Rita Julia; Mondragón Pons, Inés; Olcina Marcos, Victoria; Sáez Martínez, Pedro; Tortosa Juanes, Pablo; García Martín, Guillem; Cos Aznar, María; Instituto Universitario de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones; Departamento de Ingeniería Gráfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial[EN] The article presents the RuralYU university entrepreneurship project, developed by the Youth University Design (YUDesign) Spontaneous Generation (GE) group of the School of Design Engineering (ETSID), at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV). RuralYU aspires to reduce rural depopulation in collaboration with university students, who, by carrying out academic work, cover specific needs with the aim of strengthening rural development. The idea of an inter-university collaboration programme with the rural world arose after having won the Vodafone Foundation' s Project Lab 2021 national contest within the framework of GLOBAL CHANGE with the proposal "RuralLife4Good. Accommodation grant programme for the empowerment of rural environments". The winning proposal, which was implemented as a pilot project in Ràfol de Salem during the 2021-2022 academic year, values the importance of the university at the service of society, in this case as an axis of urgent and necessary activation to avoid rural abandonment.
