Methodological Proposal for Teaching-Learning in Higher Education

Higher education in Bolivia's public universities is going through a challenging moment of transition in its training models. Analysing the problem, there is a certain relationship between academic performance, promotion rates and the increase in student desertion, caused by different factors, among which the methodology applied in the teaching-learning process stands out. Then there is the overcrowding of students, which is quite negative in contexts of large groups of students, making it difficult to monitor the acquisition of competences. This study will help in the orientation of teachers or future teachers dedicated to teaching in Higher Education institutions, proposing tools and strategies that can be applied in the educational task, in a context of student overpopulation and with the application of ICTs for students of Science and Engineering, for which the subject of Hydrology is analysed as a pilot test, so that the teaching-learning process is more meaningful for the university community.
