Application of an Inquiry-Based Learning Space (ILS) GRAASP in the Course of Differential Equations for Engineering Students Within the Framework of the Project Wp@ELAB

ABSTRACT

With the evolution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the progressive growth of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE), new development needs arise in terms of teaching-learning methodologies in the classroom. On the other hand, the remote education for the COVID-19 health emergency worldwide had a positive impact in the virtual education, increasing the number of online courses through virtual platforms, in which researchers and teachers will be able to develop and implement classroom learning spaces, among which Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC's) and Inquiry-Based Learning Spaces (ILS) stand out. This paper presents the application process of an ILS of differential equations through the free resource GRAASP and published in the Golabz platform during Differential Equations of the Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia. Hake's gain is used for learning assessment, an average gain of 0.37 was found, which implies a medium learning gain. © 2022 IEEE.
