Learning Based Projects to Develope Competencies in Language and Literature

Abstract

Classroom work destined to develop and apply models and methodologies centered on the student, is an opportunity to attend to the problems that represent the understanding and production of texts; Higher education assumes that these capacities have been developed in the trajectory that corresponds to the basic and upper middle levels. However even in the undergraduate study students present serious weaknesses and deficiencies. Therefore, we propose a work on didactic strategies, whose objective is to improve the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge on language and literature. The proposal, then, is to implement Learning Based Projects (LBP) as a didactic strategy for the development of competences in students of higher education. This activity has been taking place with students of Hispanic Letters in the University of Guadalajara in the Centro Universitario del Sur. This didactic experience is a qualitative research whose preliminary results are the development of research skills, self-management work, learning objectives and the development of the entrepreneurial spirit.  All these results translate themselves into achievements on the understanding of literature and the production of texts, linked to an interaction between the objects of study, their context and their previous knowledge, which integrate the use of technologies.
