Designing An Operations Research Course Under Active Learning Strategies

Icesi University as an instructional body is convinced that Active Learning is useful for its students’ formative process. This, because Active Learning works to educate people that are not mere collectors of memorized information but rather people capable of thinking, acting, thinking critically and move on to a path of professional continued self learning. That is why the premise of “do not give the fish” (which would be analogous to providing memorized content) but “teach how to fish” (which would equal the development of abilities to use information and keep on learning) is perfectly accepted in this institution.
