Resumen

Este estudio investiga la percepción de los estudiantes sobre el aprendizaje versus el desempeño, en un curso de pregrado en gestión de proyectos. La percepción de los estudiantes sobre el aprendizaje de la gestión de proyectos se examina mediante una encuesta retrospectiva de 147 estudiantes de dos años académicos. El rendimiento de los alumnos se mide por su nota final. Los datos se analizan utilizando el rango Wilcoxon y las prueba Chi-cuadrado. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes informaron un mayor conocimiento percibido de todos los grupos de procesos de gestión de proyectos, donde los aumentos medios más bajos y más altos fueron Ejecución e Iniciación, respectivamente. Los resultados, sin embargo, muestran que no hubo relaciones significativas entre la percepción de los estudiantes sobre el aprendizaje y el desempeño. Los resultados de la percepción de los estudiantes pueden indicar estrategias de enseñanza con respecto dónde puede ser necesario enfatizar en los grupos de procesos con las puntuaciones medias percibidas más bajas.
