Abstract

We examined the differential effects of two innovative methodologies: problem based learning and case method, in the development of the general competences in Spanish students of teacher degree. The sample was formed by 150 1st and 2nd year university Spanish students of teacher degree who studied Educational and Developmental Psychology (1st course) and Special Education - Psycho-pedagogic Basis (2nd course). They followed a part of their specific subjects according to the problem based learning and the case methodology. After each specific methodology they completed a specific questionnaire focused on the general competences of teacher degree. The results showed that, in general, the problem based learning methodology is more effective than the case methodology for developing students’ general competences. And the effectiveness of problem based learning is bigger in 2nd grade than in 1st grade.
