Abstract

This work presents the main results and conclusions drawn from a teaching experiment, in the studies of Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic School of Córdoba University (Spain), in the 2010 to 2011 course. This experiment was to use extensively, in one of the theory groups, an interactive system based on personal response devices. The main purpose of the meeting was to compare the results with other group in which the system was not used. Also we wanted to know the opinion of the teachers and students participating in this experiment. In this way we could know both the advantages and the disadvantages of its implementation, the technical dificulties and if it is a really useful teaching tool. The results can be interesting for teachers and educational supervisors who want to know the advantages and limitations of these systems.
