Resumen

The teaching of analog electronics faces the challenge of integrating theory with practice in educational environments increasingly influenced by digitalization and the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in this context, self-directed learning has become a key competency in the training of professionals capable of meeting the demands of Industry 4.0. The aim of this study was to design and propose laboratory guides that strengthen students’ autonomous learning in an advanced-level analog electronics course and the proposed framework is organized into three stages: preliminary research and circuit simulation, experimental development in the laboratory, and analysis of results through questionnaires and conclusions, and additionally, it incorporates assessment tools such as observation checklists with specific criteria to evaluate technical, procedural, and socio-emotional competencies which are proposed as an innovative didactic resource that improves coherence between curricular objectives and practical experiences, promotes student motivation, and supports the progressive acquisition of critical skills for professional performance and the expected outcomes point to greater autonomy in learning, consistency in the implementation of laboratory practices, and the generation of useful indicators for the continuous improvement of training programs in technological institutions.
