Abstract
This paper describes an innovative teaching project devoted to the development and implementation of an inquiry-based learning (IBL) methodology for the course “Spanish Economy” – second year of undergraduate in Business, University of Huelva – instead of the traditional methodology based on master classes. The expected outcomes are an improvement on students’ motivation and a better learning experience. The results obtained have been evaluated through a questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire show that, in general, students are satisfied with the new methodology and they consider it to be more useful and motivating than the previous one. The results, however, reflects the importance of class attendance in the development of the IBL methodology, showing that the performance of the methodology implementation will depend on the teacher’s ability to motivate the students to attend to class.
