• Resumen

  • This research analyses the implementation of Constructive Approach in development of a modern and efficient laboratoryenvironment. In this context, Constructive Approach means students develop virtual or simulated environments based on theirtheoretical knowledge, and without already prepared solutions. A new generation of students developed a negative opinion towardslaboratories and consider simulated environments as modern and challenging. The objective of this work is to achieve thatlaboratory for digital communication based on Constructive Approach is implemented. The opinions of 25 students were trackedduring the implementing semester by constructive qualitative analysis on tri-component attitude model. The students had anexperience in the implementation of different methods in laboratory during their previous semesters. The results showed thatopinions towards laboratory was changed to a positive spectrum on three distinctive levels cognitive, behavioral and affective one,compared with the previous opinions towards simulated laboratory environments.
