Abstract

The objective of this project was to implement the Project Oriented Learning (POL) technique in six university programs. The main purpose of this study was established to demonstrate how the use of the Project Oriented Learning is linked to the use of Information and Communication Technologies with results such as high performance in the learning and teaching processes. It was fallowed a qualitative methodology with quantitative description so it could be explained the different researched elements and it was discovered that in the vision of the educators, administrative staff and students, the strategy has a broad acceptance as a didactical practice that supports the learning processes. In the other hand, the study shows the need to promote strategies that allow the perception of professional abilities levels that students acquired throughout their development in their university path. In this case, it refers to the Project Oriented Learning with applications on Information and Communication Technologies as innovations in the field of academics. It is shown that the strategy is well accepted in the classroom and also as a way to achieve student’s collaborative learning.
