Resumen
REIF-ACHERMAN, Simón. Toys as teaching tools in engineering : The case of drinking bird . Ing. compet. [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.1, pp.151-160. ISSN 0123-3033.
Learning processes in engineering had been evolving from the so-called master class, with an almost inflexible format and that presented, still nowadays in great proportion, concepts and principles in an abstract way and without relation to the reality the student knows, to a more pedagogical scheme which allows greatest connection with the environment. One well-known and representative toy is used in this article to show how real-life related examples surrounding the students' world can be used in order to complement theoretical concepts, in this case physical, and mathematical developments around a specific subject, positively contributing so to the motivation for the studying and analysis of more complex systems
