Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chadli, Abdelhafid; Bendella, Fatima; Tranvouez, Erwan – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
In this paper we present an Agent-based evaluation approach in a context of Multi-agent simulation learning systems. Our evaluation model is based on a two stage assessment approach: (1) a Distributed skill evaluation combining agents and fuzzy sets theory; and (2) a Negotiation based evaluation of students' performance during a training…

The Importance of Explicitly Mapping Instructional Analogies in Science Education
Direct linkDirect link
Asay, Loretta Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Analogies are ubiquitous during instruction in science classrooms, yet research about the effectiveness of using analogies has produced mixed results. An aspect seldom studied is a model of instruction when using analogies. The few existing models for instruction with analogies have not often been examined quantitatively. The Teaching With…

Use of a Deterministic Macroeconomic Computer Model as a Teaching Aid in Economic Statistics.
Tedford, John R. – 1977
A simple deterministic macroeconomic computer model was tested in a junior-senior level economic statistics course to demonstrate how and why some common errors arise when statistical estimation techniques are applied to economic relationships in empirical problematic situations. The computer model was treated as the true universe or real-world…

Information Processing Models and Computer Aids for Human Performance. Second Language Learning.
Kalikow, Daniel N.; Rollins, Ann M. – 1973
The task is to carry out the final development of a computer-based system for automated instruction of the new speech sounds of second languages, and to field-test this system for two language pairs: English speakers learning Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish speakers learning English. This report describes the first evaluation experiment of the Mark…
