Technical pedagogical investigation on electronic engineering educational methods in the electronic circuits area

This paper arises from an educative investigation made in an electronic circuits course at the University of Buenos Aires. Didactic strategies were designed and started, sustained in three fundamental points: (1) computer simulation, (2) student teamwork, and (3) the guidance of the teacher as an expert, collaborating with the learning of the student. To complete the experience, multimedia software is being developed. The software is intended to support the students' knowledge construction by presenting them with new situations that could take place, helping them to think up different points of view, while promoting interaction with the teachers, with each other, and with their books and papers. The computer simulation in this experience is understood as a tool to help and make the team process easier, while allowing the students to look for their own problem-resolving strategies.
