Abstract
El presente trabajo de investigación está centrado en el uso de las metodologías activas en los
estudios universitarios, su impacto en el desarrollo de competencias y su conceptualización dentro de las
propuestas de innovación educativa para la transformación social. La investigación fue articulada en tres
momentos principales, correspondientes a tres artículos publicados en revistas de alto impacto. El primero
muestra los resultados de un análisis bibliométrico en el que se revisaron publicaciones llevadas a cabo
del año 2003 hasta el 2023 que tenían a las metodologías activas en los estudios universitarios como
aspectos centrales de su investigación, para conocer sus objetivos, estructura, participantes, instituciones,
autoría y principales resultados, entre otros. En segundo lugar, se encuentra el artículo que presenta los
resultados de la implementación de un proyecto de innovación educativa en el que se aplicó el
Aprendizaje Basado en Retos (ABR) con estudiantes del segundo año de Educación Infantil de la
Universidad de Huelva, contando con la participación de diversas asignaturas y profesorado. El tercer
artículo se enfoca en el análisis del concepto de innovación y su incidencia en el contexto educativo, para
que, a partir de la toma de conciencia sobre su devenir histórico, sus características y usos actuales, así
como la comprensión de sus consecuencias, pueda plantearse la innovación educativa entendiéndola
como el cambio educativo a través del uso de metodologías activas que promueven el desarrollo de
competencias en el alumnado y que tienen un impacto positivo en sus contextos. Los resultados del proceso investigador revelan que si bien la implementación de metodologías activas ha aumentado en
cantidad y calidad en los estudios superiores en diversas universidades a nivel mundial, es necesario
seguir investigando de forma conjunta, interdisciplinar e internacional para lograr su consolidación como medios para el desarrollo de competencias personales y profesionales y, a su vez, como formas de innovación educativa transformadora acorde a los retos de las sociedades del siglo XXI.
This research work focuses on the use of active methodologies in university studies, their impact on the development of competences and their conceptualisation within educational innovation proposals for social transformation. The research was carried out in three main stages, corresponding to three articles published in high impact journals. The first publication shows the results of the bibliometric analysis in which the publications carried out from 2003 to 2023 that had active methodologies in university studies as central aspects of their research were analysed, in order to find out their objectives, structure, participants, institutions, authorship and main results, among others. Secondly, the article presents the results of the implementation of an educational innovation project in which Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) was applied with students in the second year of Early Childhood Education at the University of Huelva, with the participation of various subjects and teaching staff. The third article focuses on the analysis of the concept of innovation and its incidence in the educational context, so that, based on an awareness of its historical development, its characteristics and current uses, as well as an understanding of its consequences, educational innovation can be considered as educational change through the use of active methodologies that promote the development of competences in students and have a positive impact on their contexts. The results of the research process reveal that although the implementation of active methodologies has increased in quantity and quality in higher education studies in various universities worldwide, it is necessary to continue joint, interdisciplinary and international research to achieve their consolidation as a means for the development of personal and professional skills and, in turn, as forms of transformative educational innovation in line with the challenges of 21st century societies.
