Abstract

Collaborative learning consists in the realization of team-work where social, personal and proffesional skills are practiced. This article represents the results of an opinion survey that we realized with 96 students from some Ecuadorian Universities in December in 2016. This survey deals with aspects that are connected with collaborative teaching tecniques at classrooms. The article also contains a brief revision of different learning models. The results show that the application of this teaching system in high education is problematic for some students. However more than 60% of the survey respondents admitted that team-work may help then in their future profession. Furthermore they acquired more knowledge through this way of learning.
