Abstract

The evolution of technologies has changed people in all aspects and education is no exception, because nowadays students coexist with technological devices and applications. Virtual and augmented reality have had great acceptance in recent years because they are a great contribution to education allowing to create scenarios that adapt to any classroom context, where students interact with resources and activities interactively, that is why this research is aimed at first year high school students of the Unidad Educativa Particular "Hermano Miguel" in the city of Machala in the subject of Computer Workshop, Through observation, the following problem arose: How does the implementation of a 3D virtual laboratory influence as a didactic resource for learning the subject of Computer Science Workshop in the first year high school students of the "Hermano Miguel" Private Educational Unit in the city of Machala? In this work we implemented a 3D virtual laboratory called "Virtual Soft" allowing to improve the learning of the students of 1st year of high school in the subject of Computer Science, for the development of this prototype we used the main tools such as Opensim and Singularity and as complementary tools for the development of the resources were Canva and Word Wall. This 3D virtual laboratory was designed to improve the teaching process, as evidenced by the experiences and surveys where students had an active participation and preferred to continue receiving classes in the laboratory. For the development of the research, we worked with the qualitative and quantitative approach, through different data collection instruments, surveys and interviews, the scope of the research is descriptive. These instruments made it possible to collect relevant information on the use of the 3D virtual laboratory.
