Abstract

Contemporary teaching methods often fail to engage engineering students due to a lack of integration between practical content and interactive techniques. This paper presents the design and implementation of a new teaching-learning method, called "Integration of Knowledge and Resource Articulation," aimed at combining theoretical and practical aspects of electric energy systems. The method is comprised of three sections: pre-laboratory, laboratory, and post-laboratory. Each section features pedagogical moments that use techniques such as active learning, affective teaching, and gamification to create a meaningful and motivating learning experience. This is achieved through the use f videos, educational games, short readings, and activities that encourage students to continue their studies and further research the acquired knowledge. The method aims to emulate real-world situations found in the productive sector.
