2. Introduction
European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has forced changes in
teaching methodology.
Students have to become learners and so their roles have to be
transformed into active thinkers better than passive listeners.
Teachers have to turn into guides who lead learners to relevant
information, helping them to find and use it, in order to acquire the
knowledge and the expected skills.
Evaluation of learning has to be focused on the learners’ academic
work.
3. Introduction
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is so crucial:
Computer Algebra System (CAS) presentations
+
Course Management System (CMS)
_______________________________________________________
Improvements in teaching/learning Mathematics in Engineering
+
Guarantees of relevant aspects for this new EHEA methodology
+
Allows to achieve the new requirements of learning
4. Introduction
This work compares the traditional method in teaching/learning
Mathematics, against a computer/network assisted method
The improvements of the last method will be treated and it will
be explained why the traditional method will be less appropriate
in the future EHEA.
The work is based on the experiences at the Faculty of
Computer Science of the University of Castilla-La Mancha
It will be shown an example of this presentations included in our
experience
