Understanding of electrical circuits supported by active learning and mobile devices Comprensión de circuitos eléctricos apoyados en el aprendizaje activo y en dispositivos móviles

Abstract

The objective of this document is to report the learning of direct current circuits, by high school students of a rural educational institution in the municipality of Pitalito Huila - Colombia, when working with a didactic sequence based on active learning and with Information and Communication Technologies, specifically the Electric Circuit Studio® App that works offline on mobile devices with the Android® operating system. The method is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design with a single group, with pretest and posttest. To establish learning, the Hake gain, the concentration factor and the student's t-test are used. The results show a statistically significant gain in learning, with a higher concentration on a single correct model. As a conclusion, it can be affirmed that the didactic sequence contributes to the significant learning of direct current circuits.
