Prácticas pedagógicas para el desarrollo de competencias ciudadanas.

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the application of a test of citizenship skills on a group of students from the University of Magdalena (Universidad de Magdalena) after they received teaching practices that were both constructive (case studies) and playful (games) to acquire citizenship skills. The study is quantitative with a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design, a control group that received explanations (lectures) and an experimental group that received playful and constructive teaching practices. The parametric tests performed on the data obtained lead to the conclusion that there are significant differences in favor of students who used playful and constructive teaching practices to develop citizenship skills. This points to the need to continue applying effective teaching practices to develop these skills in university students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
