- 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
- Preparando estudiantes secundarios para carreras de ingeniería: un estudio de caso utilizando el laboratorio remoto VISIRPublication . Evangelista, Ignacio; Farina, Juan; Marchisio, Susana T.; Concari, Sonia B.; Lerro, Federico G.; Pozzo, Maria; Alves, Gustavo R.; Zubía, Javier García; Hernández-Jayo, Unai; Nilsson, KristianEste trabajo describe una implementación didáctica del laboratorio remoto VISIR en el Instituto Politécnico Superior, en un curso de Física de nivel secundario con una estrategia de aprendizaje inductivo. El estudio presentado se enfoca en el análisis de la influencia de la herramienta utilizada en el entusiasmo de los estudiantes y en la percepción que ellos tienen del efecto de la utilización del laboratorio remoto sobre su aprendizaje. Los resultados indican que la implementación llevada a cabo influye positivamente en la motivación de los estudiantes y en su aprendizaje. Dada la relevancia que tiene la experimentación en la formación en ciencias en nivel secundario, lo obtenido muestra el efecto positivo que esto puede tener en la elección de una carrera universitaria de ingeniería.
- 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.
