Assessment of a Goal-Based Scenario Approach: A Hypermedia Comparison

چکیده
A number of studies show that students with no or little domain knowledge learn less from hypertext than from ’conventional‘ text, despite the cognitive plausibility that is attributed to hypertext. In order to improve the effectiveness of hypertext as an instructional device, we designed a hypertext program that shares many features with Schank's Goal-Based Scenarios (GBS), in particular an authentic embedding of the learners' task. In an experiment, we compared the GBS version with a traditional tutorial and a ‘pure’ hypertext. The GBS versions let to better structural knowledge than the two other conditions. The GBS condition was also more motivating. These results demonstrate the advantages of using a GBS approach to enhance knowledge acquisition and motivation in students with no or little initial domain knowledge. RÉSUMÉ: Des étudiants qui n′ont pas de connaissances apprennent moins en travaillant avec le paratexte qu′en travaillant avec un texte traditionel c′est le résultat d′un certain nombre d′études. Nous tenions l′intégration de le paratexte dans le GBS de Schank pour une possibilité prometteuse afin de configurer des environs les plus authentiques que possible. Nous avons comparé la conception du GBS avec un programme d′apprentissage à l′aide d′un tuteur et avec un paratexte « pure ». En utilisant une méthode à base du « Concept-Mapping Method » nous avons obtenu les meilleurs résultats dans le GBS mis en regard des autres possibilités. La méthode de GBS était par suite de son intégration actif aussi la plus effective concernant la motivation. Les résultats montrent l′avantage d′utiliser le GBS pour augmenter l′apprentissage et pour intensifier la motivation en ce qui concerne des étudiants qui n′ont pas de connaissance.

A Robust Scenario Based Approach in an Uncertain Condition Applied to Location-Allocation Distribution Centers Problem
The paper discusses the location-allocation model for logistic networks and distribution centers through considering uncertain parameters. In real-world cases, demands and transshipment costs change over the period of the time. This may lead to large cost deviation in total cost. Scenario based robust optimization approaches are proposed where occurrence probability of each scenario is not know...
