Laboratorios Virtuales y Docencia de la Automática en la Formación Tecnológica de Base de Alumnos Preuniversitarios

Abstract

In my work, six groups of virtual laboratories for teaching control and robotics in pre-university level are shown. These Virtual Laboratories were used for teaching students at high school. The statistics of teaching-learning process allow to check some issues of this work. The laboratories, the improvement of learning (concepts and procedures) and interactivity are described and are compared to similar applications. They share identical learning objectives but they lack the virtual laboratory aspect. Some experiences with students are explained too. The results suggest that within high school technology education, virtual laboratories can be exploited as effective and motivational learning environments.
