Resumen en inglés The incorporation of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning process of Higher Education has been one of the premises oriented by the Ministry of Higher Education as a result of the exhaustive review of the training and development programs of the Cuban professionals, consequently the curricular improvement carried out in the Electrical Engineering career at the Technological University of Havana, Cujae, has led to a new plan of the teaching process, in which the essentiality of the contents constitutes a fundamental aspect to reduce the training time and achieve higher levels of independence, autonomy, motivation and leadership of the student. In this sense, it is intended to increase the use of free software as didactic tools that make it possible to improve the teaching-learning process through experimentation with measurement instruments that do not need to be physically implemented. The objective of the article is to propose the PhET simulator as an educational resource to improve the teaching-learning process of Electrical Circuits subjects. The analytical methods were used - synthetic and interview. As a main result, the potential of the simulator is recognized both for the role of the student as a builder of knowledge and for the role of the teacher as a counselor and guide through interactivity, as well as the favorable criteria issued by the students that corroborate that it is useful to contrast theory with practice and to verify the veracity resulting from theoretical exercises.
Resumen en español La incorporación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en el proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje de la Educación Superior ha sido una de las premisas orientadas por el Ministerio de Educación Superior a raíz de la revisión exhaustiva de los programas de formación y desarrollo de los profesionales cubanos, en consecuencia el perfeccionamiento curricular realizado en la carrera de Ingeniería Eléctrica en la Universidad Tecnológica de la Habana, Cujae, ha conllevado a un nuevo plan del proceso docente, en el que la esencialidad de los contenidos constituye un aspecto fundamental para reducir el tiempo de formación y lograr mayores niveles de independencia, autonomía, motivación  y protagonismo del estudiante. En ese sentido se pretende incrementar el uso de software libres como herramientas didácticas que posibiliten el mejoramiento del proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje a través de la experimentación con instrumentos de medición que no necesitan estar físicamente implementados. El objetivo del artículo es proponer el simulador PhET como recurso educativo para mejorar el proceso de enseñanza–aprendizaje de las asignaturas de Circuitos Eléctricos. Se emplearon los métodos analíticos – sintético y entrevista. Como resultado principal se reconoce las potencialidades del simulador tanto para el rol del estudiante como un constructor de saberes como para el rol del profesor como orientador y guía mediante la interactividad, así como los criterios favorables emitidos por los estudiantes que corroboran que es útil para contrastar la teoría con la práctica y para verificar la veracidad resultante de los ejercicios teóricos.AbstracThe incorporation of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning process of Higher Education has been one of the premises oriented by the Ministry of Higher Education as a result of the exhaustive review of the training and development programs of the Cuban professionals, consequently the curricular improvement carried out in the Electrical Engineering career at the Technological University of Havana, Cujae, has led to a new plan of the teaching process, in which the essentiality of the contents constitutes a fundamental aspect to reduce the training time and achieve higher levels of independence, autonomy, motivation and leadership of the student.
