Abstract

In this paper, the application of the Montessori Method for teaching of subjects in graduate or post-graduate programmes is proposed. The Montessori Method is a pedagogical method used successfully in nurseries and is based on autonomy, independence and initiative for their own student learning. These principles are part of the guidelines of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Taking into consideration the aim of the subject Advanced Radar Signal Processing Techniques of the Master Degree on Information and Communication Technologies of the University of Alcalá of Spain, a learning path is proposed based on the main elements of the Montessori Method: the learning environment, didactic areas, learning materials and teacher activities. The final project is a web tool in WebCT platform divided into didactic areas, with material for self-taught students, combined with a teacher who monitors students through the web environment and seminars.
