| Sumario: | It is argued here that the evaluation of investments cannot be taught using the traditional approach based on the concept of hierarchy, especially if the future professional career will be developed in a context mainly integrated by SMEs, where the methodology must be adapted. Ignoring this criticism will lead future university graduates to experience problems when performing in this field. Over time, these problems will contribute to broadening the gap between what teachers teach and the importance these professionals give to what they have learned. Project-based learning is an excellent tool to approach this problem, but it is not enough. Its implementation will be successful if it is combined with the teaching of joint disciplines. This procedure is beneficial, as it allows students to develop the enthusiastic attitude and critical spirit they need in order to formulate and evaluate projects. Other benefits are that it allows different teachers to share their presentations in the same class, it allows external experiences to be added to the lessons, and it generates the ideal environment to discuss how to adapt the methodology to evaluate SMEs’ investments. In addition, the proposal can be viewed as the first step on the way to mutual collaboration between schools, which may go much further in the future. |
