DIGITAL SIMULATION USED TO EVALUATE SELF-LEARNING APPLICATIONS AND ITS USERS

Abstract

The paper’s main objective consists on exposing a methodology to evaluate the process of learning in a Self-Learning System named MATE1. The methodology also allows us to evaluate the system’s different components, and the long-term goal is to understand the learning processes. This proposal consists on the design, construction and feeding of a database that allows to reproduce the activitydeployed by the user on the system and to evaluate the application’s effectiveness. It facilitates tocapture the users’ activities and to reproduce these activities in a matter of seconds, fixing our attention in those aspects that we consider important for the evaluation of the learning process. The numeric values collected by this database may be used, in the future, to test diverse approaches in the search ofpatterns that may characterize the learning process.
