• Resumen

  • The educational podcast is a didactic resource requiring specific planning to create a digital audio file with educational content. These podcasts promote meaningful learning and stimulate cognitive skills. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of educational podcasts in increasing students’ satisfaction and performance in content acquisition compared to live oral presentations. An experimental methodology was used, involving 148 students from the University of Zaragoza (2022-2023). Students were divided into two groups: one used podcasts, and the others gave live oral presentations. They assessed both types of presentations using an evaluation rubric and collaborated on content development. Data on academic performance, satisfaction, ratings, gender, age, and admission cut-off marks were collected for statistical analysis. Both groups reported high satisfaction, with in-class presentations deemed slightly more appropriate. Exam performance was similar across groups. Collaborative, student-centered learning increased satisfaction, but intra-group conflicts prevented clear distinctions between the methodologies.
