NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND STUDENT SATISFACTION: EVALUATION OF THE JEAN MONNET MODULE EUFIREG IN THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN ECONOMICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CANTABRIA

Jean Monnet actions constitute an opportunity to attract funding from the European Union to carry out research activities, transfer of knowledge and innovative teaching at the university level. These actions encourage both the contents and evaluation of the lessons and the deployment of complementary activities and the introduction of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching activities, all of this with a European approach. The Jean Monnet Module on Economic and Financial System and Regional Development (EUFIREG) of the University of Cantabria, carried out between 2020 and 2023, has focused on two subjects that are part of the Degree in Economics: Economic and Financial System and Regional Economics. During the two first years, the Module coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result the development of the Module has relied intensively on the use of ICT. This paper analyses the impact of the activities developed as part of this Jean Monnet Module on student satisfaction. It includes a general description of the activities carried out as part of the Module and the indicators to measure their impact, which serves to show the content and scope of this kind of project. Next, it includes a comparative analysis of the evolution of student satisfaction, from six items related to teaching, on the subject Economic and Financial System.
