Simulação como auxílio educacional: o uso de simulação como ferramenta de auxílio no processo de aprendizagem dentro da disciplina de Redes II do IFBA Campus Santo Amaro.

Abstract

The title, "Simulation How Aid Education" refers to the network simulator in the teaching / learning process, within the specific discipline of the IFBA Campus Santo Amaro. The idea came up during lesson of teacher Joacir Simoes Ferreira, while teaching the Networks II discipline in the Bachelor's Degree in Computing. The research activity developed with the students of this discipline was conceived as participatory research. To contextualize explained a little of the history of the campus, the teaching / learning process, network teaching in the drive, the use of information and communication technologies in education, as well as a brief technical explanation of the network settings the OSI model and TCP / IP implementation. Terms such as simulation / emulation and reflections based on the look of some of the graduates of technical school students in computer science, in its different modalities were also addressed. Throughout this analysis, the teaching professionals were interviewed. Both Prof. Romildo Martins da Silva Bezerra when Prof. Harlei Rosa Vasconcelos left along this textual construction their opinions and analyzes on the subject in question. Interference activity performed it comes to a workshop network, in addition to tutoring throughout the educational process. The returns achieved were satisfactory when the final results were tabulated. Video lesson, previously recorded, formed a basis for learning and reviewing concepts of items such as: routing, connectivity test and details related to the field of computer networks. These activities and the occasional clarifications helped in the final challenge of networks II, providing satisfactory answers. Therefore, learning exercise practices tends to be an alternative for the student to learn. The ability to simulate gives the feeling to the learner that he has all the necessary foundation to succeed in actual practices, without necessarily having to start from scratch.
