Physical and mathematical simulations in experimentation in distance education

Abstract

The advantages of the virtual experiment are analyzed under the current conditions under which distance learning is developed in Cuba and Angola, with an emphasis on simulations that generate qualitative and quantitative analyses of scientific – methodological value. It is considered necessary to take advantage of quality technological products, whose designs respond to precision, adequate visual information and easy handling.Criteria and experiences on how to incorporate physical and mathematical simulations into the design of teaching tasks - learning Electromagnetism are set out. It presents one of the experimental teaching task designs that incorporates in an integrated way computer resources offered by PhET- Interactive Simulations and the GeoGebra application.
