Abstract

Harmonization of traditional education with computer-aided instruction is a trending method to achieve high standards in college level education. An online simulation is developed as a computer-aided instruction tool and added to curriculum for a power economics course. This simulation may provide engineering students with artificial energy market trading experience that allows for their participation within various `real world' economic market structures. To date no study has examined the impact of power market simulation on students' learning. The purpose of the present study is to fill this gap by examining the effects of simulation on various cognitive learning categories as defined by Bloom and Fink. 9 survey questions were specifically designed for this purpose by following previous studies' recommendations and avoiding the threat of bias. The self-evaluation survey responses showed that simulation has less impact on Synthesis and Caring than any other categories of learning. The findings and suggestions for educators to improve these categories are presented.

电力市场模拟对工程教育的影响

传统教育与计算机辅助教学相协调是实现高等教育高水平的必然趋势。开发了一种计算机辅助教学工具，并将其添加到电力经济学课程中。这种模拟可以为工程专业学生提供人工能源市场交易经验，使他们能够参与各种“真实世界”的经济市场结构。到目前为止，还没有研究考察电力市场模拟对学生学习的影响。本研究的目的是通过考察模拟对Bloom和Fink定义的各种认知学习类别的影响来填补这一空白。9个调查问题是根据先前研究的建议和避免偏见的威胁而专门设计的。自我评价调查结果显示，模拟对综合和关怀的影响小于其他学习类别。本文提出了调查结果和对教育工作者改进这些分类的建议。
