Participatory Simulation System to Support Learning Computer Science
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a SPS (Scaffolding Participatory Simulation) framework using the fundamental concepts in scaffolding. Making use of this framework, a mobile system is developed to support students to understand the concept of computer science easier and clearer. Besides it improves the interactive communication, increases the motivation and enthusiasm of the learners. Using the SPS-based system, the teacher can assign tasks to his learner and ask them to do the task. Learners receive these tasks, collaborate together and exchange their physical positions according to the task assigned. The system will check the result and provide feedback to the learner. Learners can understand the concept (or rule) through their trial and errors. The SPS helps the learner to deeply understand the feature of the concept (or rule). This framework is the basic for creating the ALGOS System to help learn sorting-algorithm.

متن کاملUsing Reinforcement Learning to Make Smart Energy Storage Source in Microgrid
The use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. One way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. The use of ener...
