The demands of today’s world have induced necessary changes in education curricula, teaching methods, modernization of learning scenarios, pedagogies, didactics, among others. Students now require learning scenarios where they can interact with knowledge directly, turning themselves into active agents within their training process and being capable of solving problems. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate a system of contextual awareness as learning scaffolding in problem solving activities in first semester students of systems engineering in order to analyze the effect on academic performance and students’ participation in solving problems. Results show that students who had access to the context awareness system as scaffolding for learning had better scores.

Palabras clave : context awareness; learning scaffolding; ubiquitous computing; problem solving; active learning; engineering teaching; mobile learning; context modeling; ontologies; semantic web.
