Learning method Based on Projects (ABP) .

It is a strategy on which the students carry out projects.
ABP is based on the student, who is the center of the learning and the professor help him/her and makes this process easier.
But it is the student who find out his/her learning needs when he/she confronts the project.
The student could fulfill these learning needs searching the avaible resources in Atenea, library, www, etc.

The ABP objectives are:

  • Integrate knowledge and abilities of different fields.
  • Develop mental abilities with a high level on Bloom's taxonomy: application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
  • Promote the autonomous self-learning and independent work.
  • Promote the teamwork both in class as outside.
  • Promote the self-assessment

A ABP session includes all these stages:

  • Project presentation.
  • Important item list.
  • Search of the avaible resources by the students.
  • Development of the first proposals.
  • Discussion of the first proposals by the students and the professor.
  • Election of the developed solution.
  • Project resolution.
  • Correction with professor during the fulfilment of the project.
  • Delivery of the finished practice.
  • Correction of the practice with the professor.
  • Delivery to the student of the corrected practice.

 

Objectives

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

  • Introduce the student to the fundamental concepts of the basic project.
  • Achieve that the student familiarizes with the graphic representation of the plans that conform the basic project.
  • Identify, differentiate and interpret the graphic representation of the elements that take part in an architectural project.
  • Choose and apply the most suitable representation system to use in each case.
  • Enumerate and apply the regulations in a basic project.
  • Apply the design criteria in the different spaces of a residential building.
  • Choose and apply the most suitable dimensional control system in the plans of the project.
