Building student training based on the analysis of scientific articles

Abstract

This work presents and values a model of complementary activity to the students training based on monographic works carried out from the analysis and review of scientific publications. This model promotes an extra motivation in those students with a real interest in learning beyond the basic content included in the subject program. In most cases, this proposal generates an important attraction when facing a type of unknown information. Firstly, a basic introduction to the problem is developed; after that, a selection of a coherent number of articles or communications is done, analysing the key contributions on the subject at hand; and finally, conclusions are stated. Exceptionally, it is proposed that students add a section including real cases observed in their daily environment (e.g., new products, pathologies and damages, execution systems).
