Abstract
Este estudio examinó la aplicación del aprendizaje activo en la carrera de Derecho, en la Sede de Guanacaste de la Universidad de Costa Rica durante el 2022; tuvo un alcance exploratorio y se enmarcó en el paradigma cualitativo. Entre los principales resultados, se identificó la aplicación de 10 tipos de métodos activos en los cursos. El profesorado estima que este enfoque contribuye a fomentar un aprendizaje integral y profundo del Derecho, también que permite una mejor vinculación entre teoría y práctica, lo cual fomenta el desarrollo de habilidades disciplinares y habilidades blandas. El estudiantado mostró una percepción favorable acerca del uso de métodos activos, enfatizando en que estos propician mejores condiciones para el aprendizaje. Se concluye que el uso frecuente de metodologías activas en los cursos muestra que este enfoque se está integrando notablemente en la cultura pedagógica de la Carrera. Las personas docentes y estudiantes consideran el proceso educativo como un fenómeno complejo que involucra elementos conceptuales, prácticos y emocionales, por lo que valoran esta clase de métodos como instrumentos didácticos idóneos. Por tanto, se aprecia que la implementación del aprendizaje activo en la carrera es congruente con los fundamentos teóricos sobre el tema y responde a los requerimientos formativos actuales.
This study examines the application of active learning in the Law major of the University of Costa Rica, Guanacaste campus, during 2022. This research has an exploratory scope and follows a qualitative approach. One of its main results reflects the identification of ten types of active methods applied in the courses. Professors consider that this approach contributes to promoting a comprehensive and in-depth learning of the major. It also enables a better link between theory and practice, which encourages the development of subject-specific and soft skills. Students hold a positive view towards using active learning methods in class since they believe them to provide better learning conditions. It can be concluded that the frequent use of active learning methods in Law courses shows a noticeable integration of this approach to the pedagogic culture of the major. Both faculty and students view the educational process as a complex phenomenon integrating concepts, practice, and emotions. Thus, they perceive these methods as ideal teaching instruments. Therefore, implementing active learning in the Law major is aligned with the theoretical principles about this topic as well as responds to the current educational requirements.
