MARTINEZ VALDES, Martín Gerardo. Project Based Learning as a Professional Training Strategy. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.23, e053.  Epub July 25, 2022. ISSN 2007-7467.  https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v12i23.1093.

The objective of this research was to evaluate whether project-based learning (ABPr) influences the development of competencies of university students. The research was developed over two academic cycles with Business Development engineering students from the Universidad Tecnológica del Usumacinta (UTU), Tabasco, Mexico, and companies from different productive sectors in a rural area. To evaluate the results, a 12-item questionnaire was designed, applied at the beginning and end of the students' activities. Among the results, an acceptance was found in the use of ABPr as a knowledge application strategy, specifically to carry out a diagnosis, interpretation and establish proposals for the innovation of products and services in a business environment. The learning strategy in question promotes collaborative work, self-learning, confidence, responsibility and the integration of the student with a professional environment.
