Use of free software in the proposal of laboratory practices for the subjects of Electrical Circuits/Empleo de softwares libres en la propuesta de las prácticas de laboratorios para las asignaturas de Circuitos Eléctricos

Abstract

The objective of this work is to propose a system of laboratory practices for the subjects of Electrical Circuits in the Electrical Engineering career of the Technological University of Havana, José Antonio Echeverría from the use of free software, enabling personalized, self-regulated learning. and collaborative in students. The study was based on a qualitative descriptive methodology in which the methods of documentary analysis and the systematization of documentary sources were used and as empirical methods the survey was used, for the processing and analysis of the information collected the calculation was used as a statistical method. of absolute and relative frequencies. The sample to identify which are the most appropriate free software to use and to guide the different proposed virtual laboratory practices and how to carry them out, was made up of 10 PhDs in Sciences, 4 Masters in Sciences and 3 Electrical Engineers with experience in teaching.
