While I was reading the assigned chapters to read, I came across a word I was familiar with but I could not figure out its relation with education. This word was simulation. The meaning I found for simulation is imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviors of a selected physical or abstract system.
I was familiar with use the use of simulation in video games, not in education. While I pondered on how it has relations to education. I came to realize that it can help with education to provide students with simulations to solve a math problem. This will help the students a lot and make them be interactive with the software.
Examples are available for chemistry learning, physics learning, medical education, and other examples from the readings. So far, the use of simulation in early childhood education is quite limited.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback. I was unaware that simulation in early childhood education is quite limited. I thought it would be a greater chance with it to help students.
