Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The objective of this research work was to determine the BIS generation that has made the most progress in English proficiency to analyze the causes. Progress in English proficiency was compared among all BIS generations, from the beginning of their academic journey until the completion of the Técnico Superior Universitario (TSU) level, with the main difference being the modality in which their classes were taught. The research was quantitative and descriptive. The instruments used to collect data were the iTEP, The Anglia, and another exam designed by English teachers. The study population consisted of 750 individuals who were students of Mechatronics from the years 2018 to 2023. According to the results, it can be concluded that there is greater progress in the third BIS generation. These findings contribute to the study and implementation of future improvement actions for the BIS model, as one of its main challenges is achieving a competent level of English proficiency by the end of the engineering program. Therefore, the more knowledge acquired about the issue, the greater the likelihood of finding solutions
