Laboratorio Virtual para la preparación de la docencia práctica de Química General

Abstract

There has been elaborated audio-visual digital material, filming and material multimedia to try to improve the results of learning in the laboratory practices in Chemistry in the Degrees of Engineering that are given in the E.P.S. of Zamora (Universidad of Salamanca), where it appears as basic or obligatory training in almost all the Degrees. The aim that is chased is the production of new academic tools that could be in use in the practical teaching of Chemistry, different from the traditional materials that they have come using till now. The audio-visual elaborated support allows that the pupil between in the laboratory with a few previous knowledge of the laboratory material, of the procedure that must expire, of the technologies to using and of the risks and habits which it is going to face in a laboratory of General Chemistry. The platform Moodle, across Studium, the Virtual Campus of the University of Salamanca, is the virtual space where the activities give pre-laboratory realized before by the teacher in the laboratory. The viewed one of the material has allowed a change of attitude in the pupils, promoting an attitude activates (and positive) towards the practices and obtaining a major utilization of the same ones.
