“…Para informar de los contenidos del programa de la asignatura y para el intercambio de materiales y de entrega de trabajos, una herramienta fundamental, que hemos usado es el campus virtual Moodle/Atenea de la UPC. Se trata de una herramienta motivadora para los estudiantes de ingeniería (Palma et al, 2005), que prefieren en general la consulta de documentación por Internet en lugar de tenerla toda en soporte papel. Para fomentar el trabajo cooperativo en las clases de teoría este curso también hemos incorporado la realización semanal de una entrega de un ejercicio grupal.…”

ResumenEn este trabajo se describe la evaluación continua aplicada a la asignatura Componentes y Circuitos en la titulación Ingeniería Técnica de Telecomunicación de la Escuela Politécnica Superior de Castelldefels en el cuatrimestre de otoño de 2006. Se estudia la relación existente entre el rendimiento académico conseguido por los estudiantes, su procedencia y su nota de acceso a la universidad. Este trabajo demuestra que existe una clara correlación entre el rendimiento académico global de la asignatura y su nota de acceso a la universidad. Esta evaluación continua junto a la aplicación de metodologías de aprendizaje activas ha permitido que aproximadamente un 50 % de los estudiantes haya superado la asignatura. Palabras clave: evaluación continua, metodologías docentes activas, aprendizaje cooperativo, rendimiento académico Continuous Evaluation Applied to the Course Components and Circuits and its Suitability to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) AbstractThis paper describes the continuous evaluation applied to the course Components and Circuits in the Telecommunications Engineering degree of the Castelldefels School of Technology in the autumn semester of 2006. The paper explores the relationship between the academic performance achieved by students, their previous studies and the results of the university entrance evaluation. This work demonstrates that there is a clear correlation between overall academic performance and the mark obtained to enter the university. This continuous evaluation study along with the application of active learning methodologies has allowed about 50% of students has passed the course.

Introductory Circuit Analysis Learning From Abstract and Contextualized Circuit Representations: Effects of Diagram Labels

et al. 2014

Abstract-Novice learners are typically unfamiliar with abstract engineering symbols. They are also often unaccustomed to instructional materials consisting of a combination of text, diagrams, and equations. This raises the question of whether instruction on elementary electrical circuit analysis for novice learners should employ contextualized representations of the circuits with familiar components, such as batteries, or employ abstract representations with the abstract engineering terms and symbols. A further question is if text labels in the circuit diagrams would aid these learners. This study examined these research questions with a "2 3" experimental design, in which the two forms of representation (abstract or contextualized) were considered under three types of diagram labeling (no labels, static labels, or interactive labels). The design was implemented in an instructional module on elementary circuit analysis for novice learners. Results indicated that abstract representations led to higher near-and far-transfer post-test scores, and that interactive (student-generated) labeling resulted in higher near-transfer scores than either the no-labels or static-labels conditions. These findings suggest that abstract representations promote the development of deep, transferrable knowledge and that generative methods of integration, such as interactive diagram labeling, can facilitate learning with multiple external representations.Index Terms-Circuit analysis instruction, circuit diagram, diagram label, electrical circuit analysis, multiple external representations, novice learner.

“…Research groups at several universities have developed advanced systems for course delivery [6]- [8] including automated homework pages with on-line grading. To the authors' knowledge, these systems give tutors the means to formulate homework assignments with different sets of numerical values [7], [8], and enable the students to check their final (numerical) results by filling in an appropriate form. The system presented in this paper is centered on symbolic methods, rather then numeric ones which must be mastered by future circuit designers.…”

Abstract-A web-based system for training electric circuit analysis is presented in this paper. It is centered on symbolic analysis techniques and not only it verifies the student's final answer but it also tracks and coaches him/her through all steps of his/her reasoning path. The system mimics homework assignments, enhanced by immediate personalized feedback. Evaluation data based upon a first trial indicate that this tool is a useful complement to the traditional training approach.
