2020 , Fernández-de-Castro, J. , Flores Munguía, María Fernanda , Nicolás Gavilán, María Teresa

When students only attend a class inside a classroom to listen to a professor, they do not have enough opportunities to develop all the hard and soft skills needed for excellent performance on their personal and professional lives (Quieng, et al. 2015). They may have a significant amount of information. However, they are are not able to transfer their main learnings to real-life situations, solve different kinds of problems, work collaboratively, make appropriate decisions, and many other essential outcomes needed for nowadays society (Brown et al. 2017).

Curriculum innovation for a achieving higher quality on the expected learning by a new pedagogical model Universidad Panamericana (Mexico)

2020 , Flores Munguía, María Fernanda , Fernández-de-Castro, J. , Nicolás Gavilán, María Teresa

The School of Pedagogy of Universidad Panamericana Campus Aguascalientes has been studying the pertinence and quality of their programs and especially, the Pedagogical model that allows or limits students to learn and develop what they should, to achieve their personal and professional goals (Nicholls, A. 2018). Since 2018 there has been an investigation with students, graduate students, professors, and employers to know if they think the school and its academic programs are helping on the integral development of its students. We found the vital necessity of actualizing our Pedagogy career program: the subjects for each professional area and semester, contents, disciplinary learning outcomes, etc.; but also, the Pedagogical model of the School to achieve the Learning outcomes of the Pedagogy career, the Learning outcomes of each of the subjects, all the needed elements for a complete and pertinent graduation profile for all of the students, the didactic situations and methods, and of course, a new way to assess students performance (Mintz, K., & Tal, T. 2018).
