Visualization of VHDL-based simulations as a pedagogical tool for supporting computer science education

Dynamic Interactive Visualizations: Implications of Seeing, Doing, and Playing for Quantitative Analysis Pedagogy

“…The topics that we cover in our core undergraduate course (the second course in a two-course sequence) include, among others, hypothesis testing for a single mean, hypothesis testing for differences in two means (large and small populations, equal and unequal variances), hypothesis testing for a single proportion, hypothesis testing for differences in two proportions (large samples), hypothesis testing for differences in variances, and singe-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA). , 2019, vol. 19, no.…”

“…Another fundamental model that is shown in introductory OM classes is the classic "facility location model." In this model, one has to locate a facility, such as a distribution hub, given a set of geographically separated existing facilities with some type of , 2019, vol. 19, no.…”

“…In this class exercise, students build predesigned objects with some beginning inventory. The goal is to maximize , 2019, vol. 19, no.…”

“…We invariably have a few students realize that all it takes in terms of visualization design is to have another radio button bar that denotes the number of neighbors that can be selected. We conclude the class exercise by urging students to take our code for the existing "sales rep" visualization and , 2019, vol. 19, no.…”

“…However, according to Naps et al (2002), such a technology, no matter how well it is designed, is of little educational value unless it engages learners in an active learning activity. Researchers have attempted to use a wide variety of visualization tools in pedagogical practice to investigate their impact on student learning (e.g., Kumar 2015, Shoufan et al 2015, and Garay et al 2019. In this paper, we present the application of visualization tools enhanced by dynamic interactivity, which has received little attention in the existing literature, and show that such an approach indeed enhances students' learning engagement and improves their learning experience.…”
