Abstract

VISIR remote lab, designed as a learning tool in subjects related with Electricity and Electronics in undergraduate and graduate courses, has unlikely been used in secondary school technology teaching up today. In the following document, a research work is presented in order to show the development, implementation and learning outcomes of an educational experience for secondary students, using VISIR remote lab as a means to carry out practices of measuring and introducing a methodology based on the features of Bloom-Anderson’s taxonomy. The experience have been guided by a work document in which explanations and didactic activities have been included, specifically designed under a cognitive skills development focus.
