The teaching of the gasoline injection systems module in technological education is limited by the use of traditional techniques and the lack of interactive digital resources to simulate real-world malfunctions encountered in current vehicles. This research proposed designing a collaborative learning strategy using the Electude platform for teaching the gasoline injection systems module at the Ciudad de Valencia Higher Technological Institute. A projective research approach was employed, with a descriptive field component, beginning with a diagnostic assessment of the problem using a sample of 25 students. The main results revealed that 88% perceived a deficiency in current practices, while 92% gave positive feedback regarding the use of simulators. Based on these results, a collaborative learning proposal was designed and validated by expert review. The technical evaluation obtained an overall average of 4.62/5 and an Aiken's V coefficient of 0.91, confirming high validity and highlighting its relevance and pedagogical foundation. In conclusion, the integration of advanced simulation with digital platforms and collaborative roles offers a robust solution for bridging the gap between academic training and the demands of the automotive industry. This strategy enables the accurate diagnosis of sensors and actuators in the vehicle's electronic system within a controlled and dynamic environment.
