• Resumen

  • This paper provides details of a study in which Learning Objects (LOs) have been designed and built for the field of GraphicExpression and then introduced into a university degree subject as a teaching aid so that their influence on students’approaches to learning can be studied. The study was carried out with 83 students in the subject ‘‘Engineering andArchitectural Graphics Applied to Building Design’’, which forms part of the Degree in Building Engineering. Beforestarting the course, students show a ‘‘Deep Learning’’ approach but also very close to the ‘‘Surface Learning’’. Results,after using the LOs indicates that the use of LOs in Graphic Expression produces a statistically significant improvement inthe Deep Approach adopted by students which is essential for more comprehensive learning. The type and intensity ofapproach learning was analysed by gender. Although there were no statistical differences, the data shows that womenintensify their deep learning.
