Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR Kick-Off - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Enquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR Kick-Off Meeting (KOM), Karlskrona, Sweden, 1-3 February 2016

It’s all in the title! One idea - one project - one team To develop Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Enquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) VISIR+ | EACEA project: 561735-EPP-1-2015-1-PT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP KOM, Karlskrona, Sweden

Project Summary 1/3 There has been an increased interest in science and engineering education due to: 1)the shortage of professionals required in scientific and technical areas; 2)the considerable low ratio of students opting for science- and engineering- related degrees, when entering higher education; and 3)the number of dropouts exhibited in the initial years of undergraduate studies. All stakeholders have devoted a great deal of attention and concern to this problem, considering the high number of reports published about and initiatives taken in recent years. In sum, the solutions have been dealing with: raising the society awareness for such a problem (1); increasing the interest for STEM (1, 2); and, promoting new teaching & learning methodologies, especially student-centred ones involving the use of ICT-tools, for coping with a new generation of digital natives (3).

Project Summary 2/3 This project targets the broad area of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and, within it, the subject of circuit theory & practice. It aims to define , develop and evaluate a set of educational modules comprising hands-on , virtual , and remote experiments , the later supported by a remote lab named VISIR. The nature of each experiment (hands-on, virtual, real-remote) has an impact on the students’ perception of circuits’ behaviour, being therefore mandatory to understand how these different learning objects can be arranged together in order to scaffold their understanding and increase their laboratory-based skills. This is the concern of the underpinning teaching and learning methodology, favouring in particular the students’ autonomy for discovering how circuits work, through an enquiry-based approach.

Project Summary 3/3 VISIR+ brings together the power of the best remote lab for experiments with electrical and electronics circuits and the long history of collaboration among the consortium partners from Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.

Project Objectives O1. Allow teachers enriching course curricula on electric and electronic circuit theory and practice including hands-on, simulations and remote labs O2. Scaffold students’ learning and foster their autonomy O3. Increase students’ meaningful knowledge acquisition and retention by enabling them to compare results from calculus, simulation and real experimentation (hands-on and remote) O4. Increase students’ success rates in continuous assessment modalities O5. Allow partner institutions the use of ICT tool to attract students to STEM careers VISIR+ | EACEA project: 561735-EPP-1-2015-1-PT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP KOM, Karlskrona, Sweden

Project Aims A1. Provide the labour market with high-skilled professionals in the area of Electric and Electronics Engineering (O1, O3) A2. Reduce the number of dropouts from initial years in higher education, in particular in science and engineering degrees (O2, O4) A3. Increase the number of students that opt for STEM careers, when applying to higher education (O5) VISIR+ | EACEA project: 561735-EPP-1-2015-1-PT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP KOM, Karlskrona, Sweden
