Research skills R+D+I and industry 4.0, STEM and TRIZ and theirapplication in the professional skills of applied physics students

Abstract

[Abstract] The advancement of science and technology requires that future professionals in all fields of study have developed certain professional andinvestigative skills. The impact of the industrial revolution 4.0 has included the education sector. For these reasons, we designed a chart basedon five competencies that are essential for the professional improvement of future graduates of the Engineering career. These competencieswere: industry 4.0, TRIZ, STEM and research competencies in R+D+I projects. A didactic material was prepared to be applied to 225basic level students in the subject of Applied Physics together with a rubric that determines the skills that the participants have developedduring their study from the upper secondary level to the basic level of the career. engineering. The quantitative analysis of the studywas carried out with inferential descriptive statistics, in which we found that the students have not developed certain skills: social skills,leadership, cooperative work, assertive communication, demotivation, lack of interest in contributing ideas in group work, no they know howto assign roles. A qualitative technique of motivational didactic development (survey of previous motivations, prejudices and feelings) andthe inventive TRIZ were applied to promote the development of certain skills in students. The qualitative analysis of the study was carriedout with the Chi Square technique, the results of our research confirm that the didactic-pedagogical-experimental technique has a significantimpact on the improvement or development of professional skills in students regardless of the skills acquired in previous years’ levels.
