Guía de laboratorio experimental utilizando simuladores virtuales, para la enseñanza del electromagnetismo para el 3ro de BGU de la Unidad Educativa Santa María de la Esperanza

Abstract

The context in which education takes place is changing as it evolves according to the environment in which students develop. Nowadays, technology is part of the daily life of students and therefore, its incorporation in education is necessary, being the task of teachers to look for the appropriate tools that allow it. For this reason, this work offers teachers experimental laboratory guides that allow the teaching of topics related to electromagnetism through the use of virtual simulators. The bibliographic research carried out in this proposal has concluded, on the one hand, the need to learn science in environments where experimentation is free and promotes active students, and on the other hand, the responsibility of teachers to accompany their students in each activity that is proposed. In this way, a tool has been built from a constructivist approach, opting for the use of virtual simulators for the simulation of electromagnetic phenomena and the resolution of laboratory activities that will be recorded in didactic guides. Field research carried out through surveys applied to students of the Santa María de la Esperanza Educational Unit have demonstrated the feasibility and relevance of the proposal. At the same time, the answers provided by the students have concluded that it is impossible to handle teaching and learning as isolated concepts; therefore, the material will require two versions, one dedicated to the teacher, that is to say, to teaching, and the other dedicated to the student.
