Record 2 2003-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Management Operations (General)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Representation of a physical system (prototype) by an analogous physical system, such that the behaviour of the analogue approximately (or exactly) simulates that of the prototype.

CONT

Analogue models in hydrology most frequently simulate the flow of water in a channel (or through a porous medium) by the flow of electric current through a circuit composed of resistors and capacitors.

OBS

... simulate a situation in a different medium from the prototype. Electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic analogues are employed. Often used in training, but not suitable for decision-making owing to the slow response, high cost of construction, and difficulty of changing the model fundamentally.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Opérations de la gestion (Généralités)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Représentation d'un système physique réel par un autre système physique analogue, telle que le comportement de l'analogue soit à peu près (ou exactement) le même que celui du système physique réel.

CONT

En hydrologie, les modèles analogiques simulent fréquemment l'écoulement de l'eau dans des canaux (ou à travers un milieu poreux) par le passage d'un courant électrique dans un circuit composé de résistances et de capacités.

CONT

Un modèle analogique reprend la structure et la fonction d'un modèle déjà connu et testé d'un autre processus ou système.

  • Hidrología e hidrografía
DEF

Representación de un sistema físico (prototipo), por un sistema físico análogo, de modo que su comportamiento simule de forma aproximada (o exacta) el del prototipo. Los modelos analógicos utilizados más frecuentemente en hidrología simulan el flujo de agua en un cauce (o a través de un medio poroso), mediante el flujo de una corriente eléctrica en un circuito compuesto por resistencias y condensadores.

Record 3 1998-04-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

The study of design and purpose in natural phenomena.

CONT

In trying to model the way students build incorrect procedures, it is reasonable to assume initially that they perceive the teleology of the procedures(that is, the goals of its steps), but that erroneous teleological rationalizations lead them to choose forms of the skill that differ from the intended one. A study adopting this perspective would concentrate on the way students "understand" procedures. An interesting issue in this regard is the use of manipulative models such as Dienes blocks or abaci, included in some curricula. These models are intended to impart some semantic understanding of procedure to students, and require an analogical transfer to the target procedure.

Record 4 1992-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

This approach... as a model for analogical learning... presupposes that well-defined, bounded representational models of the situations in both the base(i. e., familiar) domain and the target domain are available as inputs. In a learning situation, however, the required prior representations of objects and relations in the target domain may be wrong or inconsistent with the analogy.

Record 6 1989-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

A unit of knowledge including pedagogical issues around which the architecture of a tutoring system is organized. Each bite is itself a miniature system focused on a specific piece of the subject matter. In addition to some domain knowledge, it includes : 1) knowledge about its conceptual relations to other bites, such as part/whole, class/subclass, or analogical relations; 2) knowledge about its curricular relations to other bites, such as pre-and postrequisites, so that it can trigger remedial actions; 3) indication about the student's mastery of its part of the subject matter(a miniature student model, which in conjunction with other bites forms a type of overlay) ;4) the ability to diagnose the student's use and disuse of this knowledge by taking the blame for suboptimal actions; 5) the ability to generate problems that involve the use of this knowledge; 6) the ability to generate instructional interventions related to this knowledge.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle

DEF

Unité d'apprentissage EIAO qui contrôle soit la découverte de nouvelles connaissances par l'élève, soit ses aptitudes à la découverte scientifique. Les microconnaissances du module pédagogique peuvent constituer une sorte de méta-expertise.
