Abstract

Los métodos de aprendizaje alternativos como la técnica del Jigsaw Puzzle (JP) han cobrado relevancia frente a la enseñanza tradicional para promover la adquisición de las competencias en la Educación Superior. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue comparar el rendimiento acadé-mico y el grado de satisfacción de los alumnos en función de si se utilizaba la técnica JP o el trabajo en grupo tradicio-nal. Se trata de una investigación trasversal. En el estudio participaron 61 alumnos de 2º curso del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte (20.11 ± 0,43 años). En un grupo de clase se aplicó la técnica JP (n = 29) y en el otro grupo una metodología tradicional (n = 32). Tras la aplica-ción del taller se evaluó la calificación obtenida en el taller y el grado de satisfacción con la técnica utilizada. El grupo JP obtuvo una calificación (X = 8.52; DS = 0.5) y un grado de satisfacción (X = 7.28; DS = 1.5) con la técnica empleada su-perior al grupo de trabajo tradicional (calificación: X = 5.58; SD = 0.6; satisfacción: X = 6.34; SD = 1.6) de manera signifi-cativa (p˂ .001 and p = .023, respectivamente). Se encontró una correlación entre la calificación y la satisfacción (CCI = .360; p = .004). En conclusión, la realización de una sesión puntual basada en la técnica JP frente al uso de una técnica tradicional reporta mejores calificaciones y mayor satisfac-ción con el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.
