VISIR+ | EACEA project: 561735-EPP-1-2015-1-PT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP KOM, Karlskrona, Sweden

There has been an increased interest in science and engineering education due to: 1)the shortage of professionals required in scientific and technical areas; 2)the considerable low ratio of students opting for science- and engineering- related degrees, when entering higher education; and 3)the number of dropouts exhibited in the initial years of undergraduate studies. All stakeholders have devoted a great deal of attention and concern to this problem, considering the high number of reports published about and initiatives taken in recent years. In sum, the solutions have been dealing with: raising the society awareness for such a problem (1); increasing the interest for STEM (1, 2); and, promoting new teaching & learning methodologies, especially student-centred ones involving the use of ICT-tools, for coping with a new generation of digital natives (3).

Project Summary 2/3

VISIR+ | EACEA project: 561735-EPP-1-2015-1-PT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP KOM, Karlskrona, Sweden

This project targets the broad area of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and, within it, the subject of circuit theory & practice. It aims to define, develop and evaluate a set of educational modules comprising hands-on, virtual, and remote experiments, the later supported by a remote lab named VISIR. The nature of each experiment (hands-on, virtual, real-remote) has an impact on the students’ perception of circuits’ behaviour, being therefore mandatory to understand how these different learning objects can be arranged together in order to scaffold their understanding and increase their laboratory-based skills. This is the concern of the underpinning teaching and learning methodology, favouring in particular the students’ autonomy for discovering how circuits work, through an enquiry-based approach.

Project Objectives

VISIR+ | EACEA project: 561735-EPP-1-2015-1-PT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP KOM, Karlskrona, Sweden

  • O1. Allow teachers enriching course curricula on electric and electronic circuit

theory and practice including hands-on, simulations and remote labs

  • O2. Scaffold students’ learning and foster their autonomy
  • O3. Increase students’ meaningful knowledge acquisition and retention by

enabling them to compare results from calculus, simulation and real experimentation (hands-on and remote)

  • O4. Increase students’ success rates in continuous assessment modalities
  • O5. Allow partner institutions the use of ICT tool to attract students to STEM

careers
