Design and validation of an instrument to measure the relevance of a simulation software in the teaching of electronics.
Abstract
At different school and knowledge levels, there are advances regarding the proliferation of educational software based on virtual simulation; however, there is a need to determine the impact that these have on the learning process in the students who use it. The purpose of this study was to determine the design and validation of an instrument to measure the relevance of the use of simulation software in the teaching of electronics. The methodology included a judgment of expert judges, from which the relevance of the writing of 12 items that make up the instrument was evaluated. The results show the importance of the validation of the instrument to ensure that it meets its objective.
