Cooperative and autonomous learning in architecture and economics : an experience in the subjects of architectural design and accounting in Spain

Abstract

The implementation of cooperative and autonomous learning was analysed for the subject Architectural Design, which is part of the bachelor’s degree in Architecture and the subject Financial Accounting, which is part of the bachelor’s degree in Accounting and Finance. These disciplines are very different. Although they are both taught in the classroom using a similar pedagogical method involving a combination of group and individual work, it is distributed in a different way in each subject. The academic results obtained in both subjects were very satisfactory. We can conclude that cooperative work helps to improve the final results of the course.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
