MEIoT 2D-CACSET: IoT Two-Dimensional Cartesian Coordinate System Educational Toolkit Align with Educational Mechatronics Framework

Abstract

The educational sector has made extraordinary efforts to neutralize the impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, forcing teachers, scholars, and academic personnel to change the way education is delivered by developing creative and technological solutions to improve the landscape for education. The Internet of Things (IoT) is crucial for the educational transition to digital and virtual environments. This paper presents the integration of IoT technology in the Two-Dimensional Cartesian Coordinate System Educational Toolkit (2D-CACSET), to transform it into MEIoT 2D-CACSET; which includes educational mechatronics and the IoT. The Educational Mechatronics Conceptual Framework (EMCF) is extended to consider the virtual environment, enabling knowledge construction in virtual concrete, virtual graphic, and virtual abstract levels. Hence, the students acquire this knowledge from a remote location to apply it further down their career path. Three instructional designs are designed for this work using the MEIoT 2D-CACSET to learn about coordinate axes, quadrants, and a point in the 2D Coordinate Cartesian System. This work is intended to provide an IoT educational technology to offer an adequate response to the educational system’s current context.

Lab-Tec@Home: Technological Innovation in Control Engineering Education with Impact on Complex Thinking Competency

“…However, in terms of the course delivery mode, at the end of the semester, students had the feeling that the learning experience was less effective [3], especially for courses with practical content, such as those required in engineering education. Therefore, based on the experience of universities during the pandemic, it was necessary to develop effective online learning courses (Figure 1): Developing a novel and technological solution to improve the hands-on experience in teaching control engineering during COVID, the Lab-Tec@Home project is oriented toward Education 4.0 [4].…”
