Abstract(s)
A prática da lecionação da disciplina de Redes de Computadores tem revelado
algumas dificuldades sentidas pelos estudantes dos cursos de Engenharia
Informática e afins. Nota-se uma gritante falta de motivação e baixo
aproveitamento. Apontam-se como motivos, a falta de laboratórios
especializados, o nível de abstração e pensamento lógico que determinados
conteúdos da referida disciplina exigem, essencialmente em temas que visam,
para além dos conhecimentos teóricos, também desenvolver competências
práticas. A presente proposta teve como objetivo responder a estes desafios pela
via da conceção de contextos virtuais em 2D/3D para a aprendizagem de redes
de computadores, focando-se no tema do Encaminhamento IP. Para tal, criouse, com recurso ao Unity 3D um jogo sobre a pilha de protocolos da arquitetura
TCP/IP; um outro jogo sobre endereçamento IP, utilizando o recurso quizventure
do Moodle; e um protótipo de um mundo virtual 3D sobre encaminhamento IP. O
desempenho dos participantes durante a realização de atividades no Moodle,
bem como a avaliação por eles feita aos contextos virtuais, levaram-nos a
concluir que os contextos virtuais podem ser utilizados para minimizar a
complexidade de alguns conteúdos e como alternativa à carência de laboratórios
de especialidade.
Computer networks subject teaching pratice has revealed some difficulties felt by Computer Science courses students and related courses. There is a glaring lack of motivation and low achievement. The reasons for this are the lack of specialized laboratories, the level of abstraction and logical thinking that certain contents require, essentially in issues that aim, in addition to theoretical knowledge, also to develop practical skills. The present proposal aimed to respond to these challenges through 2D/3D virtual contexts design, for learning computer networks and focusing on IP Routing topic. To achieve this, was created a game based on the TCP/IP architecture protocols stack, in Unity 3D; another game about IP addressing using Moodle's quizventure feature and a prototype of a 3D virtual world about IP routing issue, also in unity 3D. Participants performance during activities in Moodle, as well as their assessment of virtual contexts, led us to conclude that games and virtual reality can be used to minimize the complexity of some contents in computer networks area and as an alternative to the lack of specialty laboratories.
