ICT-based didactic strategies to build knowledge models in electronics in higher education

Abstract

This paper presents a didactic strategy based on information and communication technologies (ICTs) to help students build knowledge mental models in the context of Higher Education. It presents a methodology that combines the flipped classroom with other active methodologies and traditional lessons to improve the teaching/learning process of Electronics in university studies in Physics. Using the flipped classroom as the main strategy, the proposed methodology allows devoting more classroom time to active learning so that the instructor can follow the student learning process and evaluate model construction, while at the same time it increases student implication and fosters autonomy and cooperation with peers, contributing to a better construction of knowledge mental models in Electronics
