CASTRO MENDEZ, Nelson y SUAREZ CRETTON, Ximena. An Experience in Creating, Using, and Assessing a Repository of Theses and Dissertations in Higher Education. Rev. Cubana Edu. Superior [online]. 2019, vol.38, n.3 Epub 01-Dic-2019. ISSN 0257-4314.
Current research shows the importance of making good use of technologies to make learning meaningful to higher education students and enhance their research competencies. This study was aimed at creating a digital repository of theses and dissertations written by psychology students at a public university, and using it in four courses via activities planned by professors, and getting it assessed by students and professors as to how useful it was. Eighty first, third and fifth year students participated, who were taking four courses constituting Psychology as an area of specialization and being taught by four professors. The Guirao-Goris and Ferrer scale (2007) was used to assess meaningful learning and views held by students and professors. The results showed that the repository was positively assessed, and that learning was meaningful.
