The Virtual Museum VM as a Tool for Learning Science in Informal Environment

Resumen

Para comprobar si un museo virtual puede ser una herramienta para el aprendizaje de la ciencia en los grados básico de enseñanza, en un entorno informal, desde la perspectiva de padres e hijos, el estudio siguió el método mixto de recogida de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos desde la perspectiva del usuario (estudiante y padres) basado en la metodología de investigación y desarrollo (I+D) de la educación, utilizando herramientas de evaluación apropiadas y diferenciadas para los padres y para los niños, por medio de una entrevista enfocada. La prueba de evaluación de los padres arrojó resultados positivos: encontraron los VM apropiados. Los padres manifestaron también una opinión positiva hacia el VM en relación con las calificaciones académicas. La prueba de evaluación de los niños dio una respuesta positiva. Los niños encontraron apropiados los VM. Los comentarios de los niños mostraron un mayor nivel de interés en el aprendizaje de la ciencia con la tecnología a través de juegos y multimedia: los niños estaban muy entusiasmados con el uso de la VM que les ayudó a entender el contenido del tema y a navegar para buscar información científica.
