Abstract

This research analyses the integration of the project based learning method, through ICT as an emerging method with significant impact on learning. Two didactic units of hand hygiene are implemented through a traditional method and a project-based learning method and ICT as an educational resource. By means of a quasi experimental design, data from 39 students of 2nd grade of primary school are analyzed, applying the Mann Whitney U-test, a questionnaire and participant observation. It is highlighted that the work and integration of the project based learning methodology, through ICT, does not significantly improves academic performance. However, statistically significant improvements are highlighted in the content recognition, active participation, collaboration, satisfaction and motivation in learning processes. Through this learning method and the use of ICT, students investigate first-hand and reflect on the subject by doing significant learning. © 2021 Research Group Education and Virtual Learning (GREAV).
