Conceptual development through computer simulations: a case study in physics

This paper investigates how students engage with a simulation, during problem solving, and learn. It is a case study with three groups of university students solving a thermodynamics problem (Carnot cycle) assisted by a computational simulation specifically designed for that circumstance. Coordinati...

Este trabajo indaga cómo los estudiantes se involucran con una simulación, durante la resolución de un problema, y aprenden. Es un estudio de caso con tres grupos de estudiantes universitarios que resuelven un problema de termodinámica (ciclo de Carnot) asistidos por una simulación computacional específicamente diseñada para esa circunstancia. Se utiliza la Teoría de Clases de Coordinación para interpretar los resultados. Estos revelan que existen tres tipos distintos de interacción entre los estudiantes y la simulación que promueven el desarrollo conceptual de los grupos participantes.
