ARIAS NAVARRO, Eduardo  and  ARGUEDAS-MATARRITA, Carlos. Experimental work in the teaching of Physics in times of pandemic through the use of Newton’s 2^nd Law app at UNED in Costa Rica. Innovaciones Educativas [online]. 2020, vol.22, suppl.1, pp.103-114. ISSN 2215-4132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/ie.v22iespecial.3204.

Here is a systematization that displays the results of using the Virtual Laboratory of Newton’s 2nd Law in two of the Physics teaching subjects of Costa Rica’s distance learning university (Universidad Nacional a Distancia UNED). This lab enabled experimental learning without the need to go to in-person classes. An actionresearch was carried out, followed by mediation practice in which participants had to execute a lab-guide using an app. Among the primary outcomes is highlighted that the participants were very accepting of the Virtual Lab as a learning resource of the experimental component through a mobile device cultivating the value of this kind of resource to make learning occur in pandemic times while the lockdown has forced the closedown of educational institutions, therefore, mediation in the teaching-learning process is necessary.
