Control and automation systems in the classroom: Didactic strategy in the teaching of science. Innovation, technology and creativity

Abstract

Development environments - SDIs - and their applications in measurement-based natural science experiments have been widely welcomed for efficiency and ease of testing scientific theories; By having more interaction with control and automation systems as a pedagogical strategy in the classroom, in secondary educational institutions, it has allowed students, specifically from ninth to eleventh grades, to achieve greater confidence, motivation, collaborative work and use of ICT for the learning of natural sciences, using significant learning for the design and construction of an automated greenhouse for the germination of black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) obtaining optimal growth and conservation of ideal environmental conditions from programming, calibration of the control and automation, linked to a Nodemcu microcontroller card (ESP-8266).
