Educational and Illustrative Modules Based on Multilevel Computer Models

Abstract

This article describes the educational possibilities of educational and illustrative modules (UIM), as well as the principles of their development in the form of multilevel computer models. Such UIMs involve dividing the model of the object under study into 3 levels: object, logical, visual. There is a mathematical model of the object (in a block-component or block-analytical form) at the object level. A simulation model of the behavior of an object or a scenario of a computational experiment is on the logical level of the model. Visual level of the model contains a graphical interface of the model with meters, regulators, and other elements, as well as with the ability to build 2D and 3D graphs, 3D animation. With the help of UIM, it is possible to vary the parameters of the model of the object under study, change external influences, while observing the reaction of the object to these changes. The implementation of such experiments is aimed at improving the process of assimilation and understanding of the subject, as well as providing the opportunity for direct experimentation in the study of theoretical material. UIM can be used both to illustrate lecture material by the teacher and students in all types of classes. In laboratory work in the natural sciences and technical disciplines, the use of UIM can be aimed at conducting virtual experiments, studying the design and principles of operation of measuring instruments, equipment and designing scenarios for a computational experiment. In practical classes for working with UIM, it can be proposed to process the results of a virtual experiment with the possibility of repeated repetition of a computational experiment or using optimization methods on a model. As an independent work of students, UIM can be used as a simulator: for conducting a computational experiment, studying an object model, finding patterns between data, etc. In order to improve modeling skills, students can be offered not only to use a ready-made UIM, but to upgrade it to the existing situation or create a new one on their own in the modeling environment.
