Teaching Physical Sciences Using Arduino Physics Lab at the Universidad Del Cauca

Abstract

In this work, we proposed to evaluate the use of the Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab as a low-cost tool for conducting self-guided physics laboratory practices using a project-based learning approach for undergraduate students at the Universidad del Cauca. Our main hypothesis is that the guides permit to realize the practices with the kit as an alternative to virtual and remote learning environments. To support our claim, we performed a survey that evaluates teamwork, the solution of problems, and self-study, the results showed a high score for each one of the skills.
