Interdisciplinary coordination through problem based learning. An application in “operations management” and “business statistics” subjects
Abstract
A key aspect of the EEES is that the different subjects that make up a degree cannot be conceived in isolation as for contents nor methodologies. The future graduate student has to acquire, in addition to knowledge, other skills that prepare him for his future career. The student should be trained under a multidisciplinary approach so that he can learn to find synergies between knowledge, skills and abilities acquired.
In this context, a new experience of educational innovation is described through the interdisciplinary coordination of subjects such as ‘Production Management’ and ‘Business Statistics’, both included in the Business Administration Degree. The general objective is achieved through the development of a joint work, in which the student can apply and inter-relate the knowledge acquired in various subjects. For the development of the common work, based problem learning is used. The results have shown that the integration of knowledge through interdisciplinary coordination is highly valued by students.
