PEREZ, J. L. et al. Simulation interface for technical training in detection of flaws. J. appl. res. technol [online]. 2004, vol.2, n.1, pp.21-25. ISSN 2448-6736.

In this paper we present a computer program with educational purposes, based on the substitution of student's beliefs by formal knowledge via personal experience. This is done through the application of formal knowledge acquired in class, to contextualized tasks in the student's environment that also allows him/her to obtain and consolidate basic information that is not embedded in his/her mind. The program is designed to present a game like exercise that allows the student to face conditions similar to those of real life.
