Project-based learning: a pedagogical adaptation for socio-organizational innovation and development

Abstract

This text reviews the theoretical and contextual background that influenced the inclusion of a sequential proposal in subject 04056 of the Bachelor's Degree in Management Sciences at UNED-Costa Rica as a simulator mechanism of an indispensable reality to be approached investigatively by the students. The aim is to develop epistemological skills following the Pedagogical Model established by this educational institution. In this way, it is clear the existence of a theoretical background that reaffirms the value of Project Based Learning. However, its practicality and impact lie in the fact that it needs to be delineated (technically and instrumentally) from the contour of Management Sciences and not only replicating what has been achieved from other social sciences. This is insofar as the aim is to effectively train researching and innovative people capable of understanding and having a positive impact on the organizational, national, or international environment in which they are inserted.
