Abstract

This chapter explores innovative approaches to fostering reasoning skills in higher education. It delves into various dimensions of active learning, emphasizing the importance of inquiry-based methods, outdoor experiences, and technology integration. The chapter highlights examples from the Lisbon School of Architecture, University of Lisbon, across different study cycles. Notable examples include using Kahoot and MathCityMap in the bachelor's, student-generated challenges in architecture and design master's, and teacher-led research project challenges in the Ph.D. course. The methodologies and outcomes of these active approaches are discussed, emphasizing lifelong learning and metacognition. Overall, the chapter advocates for a holistic view of education that transcends traditional boundaries and prepares students for complex, real-world challenges. The results obtained in all students' degrees reveal improvements in students' commitment, motivation, and engagement in learning and the production of solid and well-founded knowledge.
