520 3 |a This study examines the implementation of problem-based learning in the teaching of physics within the context of technical–professional higher education in Chile. The research aimed to evaluate meaningful learning, competency development, and student satisfaction. The study involved 122 first-year students enrolled in technical programmes related to the field of mechanics. The findings revealed significant improvements in both conceptual and propositional learning, as well as in the development of technical competencies such as problem-solving, information selection, and teamwork. Additionally, high levels of student satisfaction were observed, indicating that problem-based learning not only enhances learning but also fosters greater engagement and motivation among students. These results highlight the potential of problem-based learning to transform the teaching of physics in technical–professional higher education settings, aligning academic content with practical applications and providing students with relevant and high-quality education.
