Abstract

There are several didactic proposals for the development of the learning process, each one answer to educational needs and different styles of teaching existing in a classroom. This article explores the use of Based Problem Learning (BPL) in the Design of Experiments area, starting from the principles of the model and implementation of its methodology, that involves the execution of 7 phases: concepts clarification, problem definition, analysis of the problem (brainstorming), systematic classification, formulation of learning objectives, research and individual study, and discussion and report. Finally, a practice was carried out with the students of the Design of Experiments course at University of La Salle, where it was evidenced that the learning objectives with the highest percentage of approval are the construction and development of ANOVA and the application of comparative methods (LSD and TUKEY) with a percentage of 93.8 % and 89.2 % respectively. On the other hand, weaknesses were obtained in learning objectives such as the systemic approach and the execution of blocking factors quantified by 20 % for each.
