Results Analysis of the Opinion Survey for Mechanical Engineering Students of a Course Taught in Face-to-Face vs. Online Format Chapter in Scopus uri icon

abstract

  • One of the strategies implemented to improve the teaching of university courses is using opinion surveys for students. In this way, information can be collected for subsequent analysis, and with Machine learning tools, predictions of the behavior of the variables of interest can be made. Since 2019, Tecnologico de Monterrey has implemented a new educational model in its undergraduate programs called the Tec21 Educational Model. In this model, at the end of the semester, opinion surveys are applied to the students to find out their perceptions about the teaching of the course. This article compares the results of the opinion survey of a course taught in face-to-face vs. online format to identify the positive strategies that worked and can be replicated in other classes. With the information from the surveys and with the Machine Learning resources, a prediction model is made: given the didactic strategies used by the professor, predict the results of the course opinion survey; with the above, it will be possible to improve the teaching of the classes. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2023.
