    Formación Continua de los profesores de Ciencias: simuladores virtuales como un recurso para el trabajo Experimental
    (2016-04-26) Reis, Susana Alexandre dos; Santos, Filipe
    This article presents a 50 hour course for in-service science teachers who wish to conduct experimental work with their students using the potentialities of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This course was designed taking into consideration that several studies in Portugal have shown that in-service science teachers still have lots of difficulties in setting experimental work in a coherent pedagogical framework and also that teachers don't know how to use ICT resources under a socio-constructivist learning approach.  The course aims to help teachers on how to choose virtual simulators that are adequate to certain learning objectives and how to create learner-centred activities using these resources under the main pedagogical guidelines of experimental work.
