WHAT WERE WE LOOKING FOR? 1. The junction of the theory, the tools and the practice of knowledge; 2. The balance between cohesion and autonomy; and 3. The use of the game like learning tool.
THEORETICAL “SYSTEMS THINKING” IDEAS INTRODUCED IN THE DESIGN OF THE COURSE • Balance between cohesion and autonomy • Integration between discursive and practical dominions • Capability to know and use rules • Care for the self and the other selves • Strategic thinking • Production of trust • Competition and cooperation
BALANCE BETWEEN COHESION… THE STUDENTS MUST ACCEPT: • The General Regulations for Students of Universidad de los Andes. • The established topics. • The members of the teacher staff. • The transformation function of the points earned in the game. • The grades of the examinations. • Amongst other aspects.
…AND AUTONOMY GRANTED IN THOSE ASPECTS THAT MAKE STUDENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN LEARNING PROCESS • Students learn to manage their own time as part of their training. • Students decides the themes on which they develop their assignments.
