Utilización del simulador Kiva-NS en la enseñanza de redes IP

Abstract

One of the constant concerns of universities is to be at the forefront of teaching methods and to offer innovating practices opportunities that will support students towards their future work life. In this context, one of the main goals of teaching computers networking in our degree career in Salta National University, is to transmit Bachelor’s in Systems Analysis students basis and basic concepts, trying to facilitate the relation between reality, theories and models, that is between concrete and abstract things.
Our investigation line pretends to evaluate the influence of using simulation software to teach computer networking topics in graduate and postgraduate studies. To achieve that, we propose a dedicated, longitudinal and experimental study that considers qualitative and quantitative aspects, making the assumption of the complexity of educative phenomenon.
