Course content
Topics covered: System, element of a system, subsystem and their structure. Dynamic deterministic system, stochastic system, continuous and discreet system. Modelling and simulation of discreet systems: generators of random numbers, properties of random processes. Monte Carlo method. Analysis of discreet systems. Systems of mass operation - networks of mass operation systems and their analytical and simulation solution. Implementation of systems on computers, simulation protocols. Dynamic continuous systems - their identification and transcript. Modelling and simulation of continuous systems, analysis of continuous systems. Modelling and models in education. Animation-similation models in presenting an educational object.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Work with Text (with Book, Textbook), Projection (static, dynamic)
  • Attendace - 12 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Course Credit - 25 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
General information and knowledge of system modeling and simulation. Practical skills in using modeling, simulation and animation in education as means of presentating new information.
Students are introduced to the practical application and use of computers for the needs of teachers. They can also work with simple graphics programs. The word processor MS Word (or similar) are able to add text finished or newly created image, and must control the creation of tables and graphs in MS EXCEL.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite is a basic computer skills at secondary school level.

Assessment methods and criteria
Seminar Work
