Abstract

The use of virtual simulators in electricity teaching in higher technological education in Ecuador. The importance of combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills and realworld relevance for comprehensive teaching is highlighted. Virtual simulators are a valuable tool that improve the understanding of electrical concepts and enrich the learning experience. The evaluation results show a mostly positive perception by students, who consider virtual simulators effective for learning about electrical devices and components. The need to adapt educational practices and keep up to date with advances in electrical technology and educational strategies is highlighted. In general, using virtual simulators has proven beneficial in improving the teaching of electricity in education.
