El objetivo de la presente revisión narrativa es realizar una síntesis de evidencias sobre estrategias didácticas activas para la mejora en la resolución de problemas en estudiantes de ingeniería civil a nivel pregrado, observando los posibles moderadores contextuales. Se realizó una búsqueda en bases de datos como ERIC, ASCE Library, Scopus y Web of Science con términos "problem-solving skills" AND "civil engineering education" AND ("project-based learning" OR "flipped classroom" OR "gamification" OR "design thinking" OR "augmented reality"), seleccionando un total de 28 estudios empíricos o revisiones con evaluación por pares en los idiomas español o inglés y excluyendo documentos de opinión, tesis no arbitradas y documentos fuera del periodo establecido o que no fijaran interés en el ámbito considerado. Por último, los hallazgos cuantificables muestran que: (1) el aprendizaje basado en proyectos potencia un rendimiento académico positivo y un pensamiento creativo sobre todo para disciplinas técnicas; (2) el aula invertida potencia un 7.9% más la proporción de estudiantes que informan de haber obtenido notas satisfactorias en cursos, como el análisis estructural; (3) grupos de 4-5 estudiantes y una duración de 9-18 semanas propician el uso de la interacción y la autonomía en el aprendizaje. Combinar estas estrategias, acompañando una evaluación objetiva de este tipo de aprendizajes y la formación del profesorado del ámbito de la ingeniería, puede hacer que la educación se adapte a las demandas profesionales del contexto, pero depende del acceso a entornos TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) y la cultura institucional.
