ICT: Didactic Strategy using Online Simulators for the Teaching Learning of the Law of Conservation of Matter and its Relationship to Chemical Reactions in Higher Middle Education

Abstract

It is imperative that a profound transformation be carried out in the traditional way in which we teach science subjects, so it is necessary that the role of student change from being a mere recipient of information to being the main player in the construction of his knowledge. One of the strategies to achieve this is to make use of ICT, within which are educational simulators, as a support resource to facilitate the teaching-learning processes taught in the classroom. The didactic strategy developed in this work was carried out with the PhET (https://phet.colorado.edu) simulator was used to improve the learning teaching of the law of conservation of the subject matter and its relationship with chemical reactions. To evaluate the learnings acquired by students, the Hake factor was determined. In terms of the implementation of this didactic strategy, students demonstrated greater recognition, understanding and appropriation of the knowledge gained about the importance of this law in chemical reactions. This teaching strategy is useful for higher middle-level schools that do not have a school science lab.

Utilização de softwares de simulações computacionais para o ensino de estequiometria: uma revisão sistemática

“…Os artigos selecionados apontam muitas vantagens quanto a utilização de softwares de simulações computacionais para o ensino de Estequiometria. Uma das mais mencionadas nos trabalhos foi o fato da ferramenta ser essencial para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, uma vez que facilita a compreensão de informações abstratas e complexas Rodríguez, 2021;Valdivia;. Outras vantagens da utilização do software estão relacionadas a sua capacidade de tornar a aprendizagem significativa pelo fato do estudante assumir o controle de seu processo de aprendizagem (Cotes;Cotuá, 2014).…”

Estrategias didácticas en la educacion

“…Proceso de búsqueda de artículos científicos. Como parte de complementar su desarrollo, los estudiantes deben desenvolver una actitud positiva y comprometida como resultado del impulso de probar por enseñanza creativas y alternativas al uso de las tecnologías de la información, permitiéndonos llamar la atención de los estudiantes sobre temas que les resultan difíciles (Rodriguez et al, 2021;Hernández, et al, 2020). El desarrollo del aprendizaje exige que sus estudiantes desarrollen altos niveles de pensamiento y creatividad, utilizando diversas estrategias didácticas pedagógicas por parte de la comunidad docente (Orellana 2017;Reyes et al, 2020).…”

A Virtual Lab Activity Combined with a Prediction-Observation-Explanation Model to Improve Students Learning Outcomes in Direct Current Circuit

“…The results of this study are consistent with research conducted by Gumrowi (2016), which showed that physics learning strategies through Crocodile Physics simulations can improve student learning outcomes. According to the study findings by Rodríguez et al (2021), virtual laboratory, such as Crocodile Physics media, had a positive impact on students' interest in learning. The findings of this study show that students' interest in learning science can be raised by using Crocodile Physics media.…”
