Abstract

In the current scenario of the university environment the tools of technology and communication (ICT) are being used to favor new methodological approaches with a clearly collaborative material providing an important projection in the processes of educational innovation. The present work describes an experience developed in the university level, which aims to create a conceptual model that can reflect the influence of collaborative work generated through group tutorials and the use of ICT in academic performance in the elaboration of the Final Year Project Work (for short, TFG). Graduates participated from Business Administration and Marketing of the University of Murcia during three academic courses. 100% of the students who followed this methodology successfully passed the evaluation of the TFG. 40% scored higher than 9, 23.3% between 8 and 9, and 20% passed the assessment with honors. It is possible to conclude that this way of developing the project based on group tutorials, collaborative work and the use of ICT favors the elaboration of the TFG, obtaining excellent results, producing less differences in the grades obtained between the students and not finding any influence sex in the results.
