Algorithmic Problem Solving Using Interactive Virtual Environment: A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The evaluation of basic arithmetic algorithms has been until recently the core of mathematical tests in elementary and secondary education. However, it is necessary that students are able to understand, analyze and improve more complex algorithms in order to support further the study of mathematics and science. In this paper, a number of issues concerning algorithmic thinking are explored. In particular, a case study is proposed in order to compare the efficiency of the traditional algorithmic problem solving in relation to problem solving using interactive virtual environment. The findings suggest that when problem solving using interactive interface is used under conditions the results are more efficient comparing to the traditional way of algorithmic problem solving.

متن کاملA Problem Solving Environment for interactive modelling of multiway data
A prototype Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is presented for problems in interactive modelling of multiway data. Multiway data result from measurements as a function of two or more independent variables. The PSE comprises a parameter estimation loop and a model adjustment loop. The model can be specified hierarchically using mathematically described building blocks which encapsulate the model...
