Abstract

From a research performed with system engineering students, we propose a way to overcome the challenges of learning in management and performance of UNIX operative systems. For that, we develop a laboratory tool according with particular requirements of the academic community associated. The current tools have constrains in usability, portability and high-cost, therefore we propose to use of the tool developed under this project, called “Simulador de shell Unix – SIMUX”. SIMUX is a computational tool used like educational material that provides ease, comfort and agility in the teaching and learning processes. SIMUX is used like a practical enviroment controled, where the student compares their knowledge in simulated enviroments. The results obtained have allowed identify the high-degree of acceptation of SIMUX in the teleinformatic laboratories providing reliability in the students and generating greater availability to address autonomous process in learning and practice in Unix operative systems.
