- Active learning of DC circuits: spreading the use of the VISIR remote lab in ArgentinaPublication . Evangelista, Ignacio; Cadierno, Matías; Farina, Juan; Roldán, Gabriel; García-Zubía, Javier; Hernández, Unai; Alves, Gustavo R.; Pozzo, María I.; Dobboletta, Elsa; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia; Nilsson, KristianThe VISIR+ Project was launched in 2015 with the objective of spreading the use of the VISIR remote laboratory in Latin America, promoting an enquiry-based approach to teaching and learning on electric and electronic circuits. Within the scope of this project, several didactical implementations were achieved both in Argentina and in Brazil. This article describes the latest implementation of VISIR in a pre-university technical school in Argentina (associated partner of the VISIR+ team) in three Physics courses with students having different background knowledge and interests. A set of activities comprising simulations, remote and hands-on experiments were designed in order to engage students in the learning process. The implementation was assessed in terms of the learning objectives and outcomes. Results showed that VISIR is an effective tool to promote active learning. Moreover, this experience seems highly valuable to encourage the dissemination of VISIR in Argentina
- Science Education at High School: a VISIR Remote Lab ImplementationPublication . Evangelista, Ignacio; Farina, Juan; Dobboletta, Elsa; Pozzo, María I.; García-Zubía, Javier; Hernández, Unai; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia; Alves, Gustavo R.; Gustavsson, IngvarExperimentation is crucial in science teaching at any education level. Students’ motivation and collaborative work are also essential in order to achieve positive learning outcomes. This article portrays the implementation of remote experimentation using VISIR in a Physics subject at high-school level. Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed for this particular case study in order to shed light on the influence of VISIR on students’ motivation. Results showed that VISIR remote lab is a powerful tool to arouse interest in electronic circuit topics.
- Spreading remote lab usage: A system — A community — A FederationPublication . Alves, Gustavo R.; Fidalgo, André Vaz; Marques, Arcelina; Viegas, Clara; Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo; Lima, Natercia; Castro, Manuel; Diaz-Orueta, Gabriel; Ruiz, Elio San Cristobal; Garcia-Loro, Felix; Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Kulesza, Wlodek; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Pester, Andreas; Zutin, Danilo; Schlichting, Luis; Ferreira, Golberi; Bona, Daniel Dezan de; Silva, Juarez B. da; Alves, Joao B.; Bilessimo, Simone; Pavani, Ana; Lima, Delberis; Temporao, Guilherme; Marchisio, Susana; Concari, Sonia; Lerro, Federico; Fernandez, Ruben; Paz, Hector; Soria, Fernando; Almeida, Nival; Oliveira, Vanderli de; Pozzo, Maria I.; Dobboletta, ElsaExperiments have been at the heart of scientific development and education for centuries. From the outburst of Information and Communication Technologies, virtual and remote labs have added to hands-on labs a new conception of practical experience, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education. This paper aims at describing the features of a remote lab named Virtual Instruments System in Reality, embedded in a community of practice and forming the spearhead of a federation of remote labs. More particularly, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of remote labs over virtual labs as regards to scalability constraints and development and maintenance costs. Finally, it describes an actual implementation in an international community of practice of engineering schools forming the embryo of a first world wide federation of Virtual Instruments System in Reality nodes, under the framework of a project funded by the Erasmus+ Program.
- Starting the Study of Electronic Circuits with VISIR. College students’ viewpoints in a Pilot Test in ArgentinaPublication . Marchisio, Susana; Lerro, Federico; Merendino, Claudio; Plano, Miguel; Concari, Sonia; García-Zubia, Javier; Hernández, Unai; Alves, Gustavo R.; Gustavsson, IngvarThis paper aims at introducing the first intensive use of a remote lab named as VISIR by lecturers and students from Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Ingeniería y Agrimensura, Universidad Nacional de Rosario. The research was carried under the VISIR + project. It is a pilot test in which 17 students from the third year of an Electronic Engineering degree took part. The pilot test was developed in order to bring forward possible difficulties, assess successes and failures and eventually suggest other possible ways of curricular incorporation of VISIR in the teaching of the Physics of Electronic Devices subject. VISIR was used as a complement to hands-on lab, after the last experimental design activity of basic circuits with bipolar transistor. The students carried out an individual lab work. Then, they were asked to answer an opinion poll made up of 20 items, 1-4 Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis and summary of cases were carried out in order to conclude about four dimensions of analysis linked to the students’ viewpoint. They are: perceived learnings, VISIR acceptance, perceived teachers’ guidance and time and technical restrictions.
- A teacher training workshop to promote the use of the VISIR Remote Laboratory for electrical circuits teachingPublication . Arguedas, Carlos; Concari, Sonia; García-Zubía, Javier; Marchisio, Susana; Hernández, Unai; Alves, Gustavo R.; Uriarte-Canivell, Iñigo; Conejo, Marco; Gustavsson, Ingvar; Elizondo, FernandoThe learning of Physics involves building up and using lab experiments. In turn, teachers must be trained in experimenting and using several resources that enable them to design valuable teaching strategies and learning activities. Thanks to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), virtual and remote labs can provide a framework where physical experiments can be developed. Altough remote labs have been in use for over a decade now in several countries and levels of education, its use at secondary schools in Latin America has not been reported yet. The Virtual Instruments System in Reality (VISIR) is one of these remote labs, suitable to practice in the area of electrical circuits. This paper aims at describing how this remote lab was used in a training workshop for secondary school level teachers of Physics in Costa Rica.
- VISIR en temas introductorios de electrónica circuital: el punto de vista de los estudiantesPublication . Lerro, Federico; Merendino, Claudio; Marchisio, Susana; Plano, Miguel; Saez de Arregui, Gastón; Concari, Sonia; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; García Zubía, Javier; Alves, Gustavo R.A partir de la participación de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) en el proyecto VISIR+, la asignatura Física de los Dispositivos Electrónicos (FDE), de Ingeniería Electrónica (IE), ha incorporado curricularmente actividades experimentales con empleo del laboratorio “Virtual Instruments System in Reality” (VISIR) en sucesivos dictados desde 2016. En esta asignatura, VISIR es empleado como complemento del laboratorio tradicional a posteriori de la última actividad de diseño experimental que involucra el estudio de aplicaciones circuitales sencillas con transistor bipolar. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo describir la experiencia llevada a cabo en FDE, así como presentar los resultados que surgen de la evaluación de la misma luego de finalizadas tres implementaciones didácticas, con participación de 51 estudiantes del tercer año de la carrera. La investigación incluyó la aplicación de un cuestionario validado previamente, compuesto por 20 ítems, escala Likert 1-4. El estudio involucró análisis estadístico descriptivo, con posterior agrupamiento y re-categorización de variables a los efectos de concluir sobre cuatro dimensiones de análisis vinculadas al punto de vista de los estudiantes: 1) aprendizajes percibidos, 2) aceptación de VISIR, 3) orientación percibida, 4) dificultades de tiempo y limitaciones técnicas.
