Impacts and barriers of the mobile remote experimentation introduced in basic education

This paper presents experiences gathered in a research project entitled “Use of Remote Experimentation in Mobile Devices for Education” applied in the Escola Estadual de Educação Básica Prof.a Maria Garcia Pessi (EEEMGP), which is a Brazilian public school. The project consists in the reflection of the current situation of physics education in public schools and also analyses the impacts of the use of mobile remote experiments. During the period of study, some techniques based on new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) were developed and implemented to education environment in this secondary school. According to the available infrastructure and some features of publics schools, the software resources of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Moodle were used to make available teaching materials and RExMobile application to provide access to the remote experiments through the mobile devices.
