Mathematics for economics and business administration and project-based learning

Abstract

In subjects like Mathematics for Economics and Business Administration there are not many innovations in teaching to promote the use of new active teaching methodologies. In this paper, we justify the use of the methodology of project-based learning using new technologies to develop general and specific skills associated with a significant part of this course, the economic applications of Mathematics. This methodology allows the teacher to assume the role of guide in student learning process and develop quality teaching to motivate and involve students in the teaching-learning process as an active part of this. It also allows the development of general skills associated with the studies of Economics and Business and specific skills associated with Mathematics applications. We describe the adaptation of the methodology to achieve these objectives based on the characteristics of the subject.
