Abstract

This article analyzes group tutoring for an
environmental engineering group-class to
which techniques of cooperative learning
aimed at problem solving were applied.
The analysis was undertaken through systematic
observation of classes (temporary
registration of events and map of classroom)
where student and teacher rate of
participation and interaction in the class
will be measured. Likewise, a survey will
be applied to know the perception and
degree of satisfaction of the students with
the methodology used and finally a comparison
of the rate of approval of the subject
in relation to the previous year will be
undertaken to verify the effects of this active
methodology regarding learning outcomes.
The results have been satisfactory,

participation in class increases although
other results should be reconsidered due
to lack of knowledge about the method.
