Description

Peer-project learning is an active methodology applied to one university in Ecuador, and it has improved students’ learning process in Physics. The main goal of this research is to provide a first analysis of the effect of the team members' number, working on a real-life project, on the understanding of electromagnetism. An introductory electromagnetism course for engineering students was taken. The grades of an electromagnetism test were taken to quantify the students’ understanding. As a result, the number of team members doesn’t influence the acquired knowledge if every member works on the project with a medium effect size.
