Análise do uso dos laboratórios de experimentação remota como ferramenta de apoio à aprendizagem

Abstract

This work presents three papers related to the use of technology to support learning tools, with emphasis on the use of remote experimentation laboratories. The first article provides a literature search and observatory on the difficulties in the use of learning support tools. The second article deals with is an exploratory study that analyzes the literature review on the relevance of the use of remote experimentation as a learning tool. The remote experimentation is based on environments that are conventional laboratory experiments that have gone through an automation process so that they could be remotely controlled by computerized devices. The remote experimentation projects were created as an alternative to experiments or simulations based on the use of traditional laboratories. Remote experiments are mediated by computer, and can be performed anywhere, as in the simulations, but in a remote lab the student is controlling a real physical apparatus, and get real data from a physical experience. Faced with the possibility of using simulators or traditional laboratories, this study aims to verify the relevance of the use of remote experimentation as a teaching tool. The literature review was performed with the execution of necessary and well-structured steps, with clear criteria and critically assessed, through the identification studies in eight different databases. The second paper describes the experience of using remote experimentation in a class of physical discipline for high school students who live and study in the Community Quilombola Lagoa da Pedra in city of Arraias (TO). The aim of this study was to observe the behavior and reports of students and teachers during the presentation of remote experimentation lab. Remote Testing enables remotely and in real time, using laboratory experiments with non-existing resources in school, and that are essential for students to deepen their theoretical knowledge with practical experience. Based on these results, we present the research contribution and significant gains in teaching and learning process, and the importance of inclusion of Educational Technologies in community without major technological resources.
