LEARNING TO LEARN: MUSIC AND DYNAMICS FOR A MORE COMPREHENSIVE UNIVERSITY

Montserrat Hern Ndez L Pez, Javier Mendoza Jim Nez

Abstract :

In spite that the super learning techniques have been oadly used in other levels, it has not yet determined if they could also improve undergraduates’ academic performance at the university. The subjects of the experiment were students between 18–24 years old and attended the lectures of the subject of Statistics in the first course of the degree of Economy at the university. In order to favour a more integrative learning the music and the dynamics have been used. The results have been measured using surveys filled by the students as well as compå their academic results with former years. They have shown a general satisfaction with the methodology, positive effects on students’ self–esteem and the noticeable improvement on exams’ results.
