Resumen

Briefly summarized in a doctoral thesis, consisting of many small jobs done, each, for many hours, is extremely complicated, and especially when our tendency is usually always to try to expose as much and complete as possible. However, conducting an exercise in synthesis, we can say that this work pursued from the beginning, creating a methodology that would allow obtaining fundamental contents, which rely to train students in a specific subject of knowledge. In our case, it is more professionally related to Databases, and we use them as a guideline. From these and, using the methodological change of teaching and learning in Spanish universities produced, consisting of adapting them to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), a joint investigation was conducted, which included works of qualitative and other quantitative type, in order to achieve the above objectives. To do this, we use new teaching learning theories, such as Theory of the Nuclear Concepts (TCN), which, as far as possible, try to contribute to its improvement, providing new elements such as the Index of Nuclearity of Nuclear Concepts Theory and generating new tools, which help to better understand, such as the Nuclear Concepts test and the Ciberjacv software.
