Resumen

This study aims to identify the educational methodology used in the European Space of Higher Education (ESHE). 207 Erasmus students, from different countries and fields of study, assessed, via an on-line questionnaire, the frequency of use of different Organizational and Teaching methods, Evaluation strategies and IT. The answers showed a significant variety and a first analysis revealed that no unique teaching methodology existed in the ESHE, typical of Bologna (Tuning Project). A more detailed analysis showed that this methodology appears to be focused on theory (e.g., Presentation method), followed by Practice (e.g., Seminars and Practical’s), rather than on Projects (e.g., Group and autonomous studies, Project-based learning), which would appears to indicate a lack of consolidation of the intended paradigm from teaching to learning.
