4. LEARNING STRATEGY
The PBL will gather a small group of five students, in a synchronous or asynchronous
way to analyze and solve issues of Value Networks and Logistics, under the guidance
of the tutor. During the interaction process of the students, they work to understand
and solve each unit.
The student will approach the topics of the unit within the knowledge environment to
appropriate the concepts related to the topics proposed in the course, using the
resources of complementary and suggested readings; Once the student has
appropriated this knowledge, he / she must participate in the forum making significant
contributions regarding the issues addressed, (it is suggested to use the TIGRE rubric
to develop a concatenation of contributions and construction of knowledge).
When the student approaches the topics of the unit and analyzes the problem-based
learning strategy, the forum will share different opinions of solutions to the proposed
activities so that in turn the classmates analyze and feedback the contribution and
together develop a solution that Satisfy the moment that the collaborative work group
is developing.
The group must deliver a product within which they develop the solution for each of
the items proposed in the activity guides. The product must meet the proposed
objectives and the analytical rubric of evaluation; very important elements to keep in
mind
