Abstract

GOMEZ G, JORGE IVÁN; CASTRILLON M, FRANCISCO JAVIER  and  JARAMILLO M., JULIO CÉSAR. COURSE OF "STATIC" IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND SIMILAR PROGRAMS IN MEDELLÍN: DEGREE OF LEARNING. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2011, vol.78, n.169, pp.7-16. ISSN 0012-7353.

It was evaluated the level of learning of a Mechanical Engineering-Statics course in the city of Medellin. To this end, a written test with multiple-choice questions was developed. The test was taken by 42 students sampled from those who had passed the subject in the first terms of 2007 and 2008 at six academic institutions in the city. The test results, considering the average score, show how the teaching-learning process does not meet the minimum requirements to pass a subject, according to the grading system followed in undergraduate programs in Colombia.

Keywords : Statics; level of learning; mechanical engineering; Bloom’s taxonomy; Medellin.
