Why is it important?

Some guidelines are given in order to plan activities that encourage the development of methodological skills.

Perspectives

The results show that most of the activities are positively valued. There is no relationship between indicators of sample characterization and perceived usefulness, but differences in some subjects in relation to some variables were found. We also identified different student profiles. Activities are useful to students only when they enable students to pass a subject, involve simulation or application of contents, and involve interaction and discussion among students. Finally, some guidelines are given in order to plan activities that encourage the development of methodological skills.
