Ladder Diagram Programming Systematization Through Active PBL Teaching

Engineering and technology courses often contain complex concepts, making traditional learning methods challenging. Tools like PLC simulators improve understanding in industrial automation. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of technological tools for remote learning. Active PBL (Problem-Based Learning) teaching methodologies, along with logical and computational thinking, enhance comprehension. This article presents a methodology for improving PLC programming through active PBL teaching, logical thinking, and computational thinking in a controlled environment. Developing logical relationships in everyday situations or similar to real ones is key for understanding.
