ZULUAGA-RAMIREZ, Carlos Mauricio  and  GOMEZ-SUTA, Manuela del Pilar. Methodology of hands on activities for the teaching of the deterministic dynamic programming in a university context. Entramado [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.1, pp.236-249. ISSN 1900-3803.  https://doi.org/10.18041/entramado.2016v12n1.23124.

In this article the results of a research process developed by the Group in the Teaching of Operations Research (GEIO) belonging to the Faculty of Engineering of the Technological University of Pereira - Colombia are presented, where the hands on activities are raised as teaching methodology to generate micro-worlds that would allow university students to internalize mathematical concepts that are difficult to understand by reductionist methods. The documented investigation was developed with a group of students from the Faculty of Industrial Engineering, with they was worked the concept of deterministic dynamic programming focused on balancing line using hands on activity of a textile production process. The above evidence was evaluated with the validation process by experts, and it allowed to conclude the hands on activity methodology proposed by GEIO is clear relevant, viable, coherent and is a tool to represent real systems where students can easily associate theoretical concepts to practical situations, reaching generate learning significant thanks to the interaction of the participant with the simulated context.
