Preparando a los estudiantes para la Generación Z: consideraciones sobre el currículo de impresión 3D

Getting ready for Generation Z students - considerations on 3D printing curriculum

##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##

Resumen

Debido a que en todo el mundo se ha adoptado la impresión 3D (3DP) en muchas áreas de actividades, la educación formal se ha convertido en una solución obligatoria para adquirir el conocimiento teórico y a las habilidades prácticas para un uso eficiente, para brindar contribuciones reales al desarrollo de esta tecnología y sus aplicaciones. Los verdaderos nativos digitales, los estudiantes de la generación Z acceden ahora a la universidad. Los universitarios de la Generación Z reciben instrucción por parte de profesores que pertenecen a la Generación X y a los primeros representantes de la Generación Y. Estos profesores tienen que hacer frente al diferente conjunto de habilidades y mentalidades de la nueva generación de estudiantes, al igual que, en el caso de la impresión 3D, a una sobreexposición mediática de esta tecnología que genera una tendencia cada vez mayor de los jóvenes a la adquisición rápida de conocimientos superficiales y a la autosuficiencia. En este contexto, nuestras investigaciones examinan los retos y las implicaciones inherentes a los aspectos curriculares de la impresión 3D, ofreciendo una serie de consideraciones y análisis basados en el estudio de la literatura y en una larga experiencia en la enseñanza de esta materia en el ámbito de la ingeniería. Se presentaron también los resultados de un estudio que persigue comprender las expectativas de los estudiantes de la Generación Z de Rumania en relación con el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de la impresión 3D. Estamos de acuerdo con la idea de que la enseñanza debe ser adaptada a los conocimientos anteriores del estudiante, pues la personalización de esta en función de los rasgos de los alumnos no resulta ni práctica ni eficaz. Al mismo tiempo, consideramos que el conocimiento de las características de las nuevas generaciones, de sus hábitos de estudio y de sus preferencias como grupo, pueden, sin lugar a duda, orientar a los profesores a la hora de elegir las herramientas y los métodos adecuados en aras de mejorar la transmisión correcta del contenido y de garantizar que este llegue eficazmente a la audiencia.
