PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL COMPUTER SIMULATIONS FOR A VIRTUAL BASIC LABORATORY

Abstract

Through a cell phone or personal computer, with internet access, it is possible to have access to social media or social networks, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc. This makes up the Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC). With access to these technologies, the ways of buying and selling, teaching and learning and communicating have changed a lot. People on different continents can communicate almost instantly from a distance, rarely see someone using a cell phone to talk or chat, it is easier to observe subjects sending and receiving messages and emojis. The purpose of this work is to make use of digital technological resources to teach physics in a non-traditional way consisting of a different methodology, the proposal presented in this textual production is to teach physics, through physical and mathematical computer simulations that accept interactivity with the user, in addition to representing realism, challenge, etc. to the student. This work is composed of three executable files, which were produced in the action script 2.0 language of FLASH CS3, Simple Pendulum, Archimedes's Principle and Hooke's Law. The executable files work on any version of Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system, if Wayne program is installed. Those who work in the public education work know a reality of lack in terms of methodological resources, in public schools it is difficult to find a laboratory of Natural Sciences and Physics in particular, it is even more difficult to find public schools with computer laboratories equipped with modern computers and updated, for this reason, the teacher can, using his personal computer, notebook, HDMI cable and a multimedia projector, transform the traditional classroom into a virtual laboratory classroom with simulated Physics experiences in order to motivate students intrinsically, use contemporary methodologies, insert digital technologies of information and communication in classrooms, The use of these technological resources must be supervised by a professional care of the teachers, so that misunderstandings of programmed Physics in the executable files do not occur.
