Aprendizagem baseada em projetos: aplicação nas disciplinas de Organização e Métodos e Gestão da Qualidade e Produtividade no curso de Administração

Abstract

This work aimed to understand Project Based Learning (PBL) as a contribution to the learning process of the students of the disciplines of Organization and Methods and Quality and Productivity Management of the UFPB Administration course, besides describing the method adopted by the teacher in both subjects. The analysis carried out a yearlong sample including 2017.2 and 2018.1 semesters. Data were collected during the performance as a monitor that generated qualitative data resulting in categories for analysis along with the conducted interviews including the students, the monitor and the teacher of the subjects. It was found that: (i) the creation and conduction of the subject with a theoretical and practical approach was empirical, that is, it was not intended to be an application of the PBL, although it is based on it; (ii) students perceived the relationship between theory and practice from the adopted methodology and (iii) the main obstacle factor pointed out by the students in both the questionnaire analysis and the interviews is teamwork.
