The performance of the groups was measured according to the average grade at the end of the course and the number of projects delivered, using a Student's t test with significance p <0.05. At the end of the study, it was concluded that the experimental group had better performance, observing statistically significant differences between the grades obtained at the end of the course with a confidence level of 95%.
