Preliminary Concept of Educational Software Modelling

Earlier e-learning concepts were mere copies of conventional learning concepts. That triggered authors to structure a model of educational process on other grounds, those based on knowledge systematized through concepts, processes, values and facts. The Concept implies a viewpoint which reflects essential properties of the objects to be studied. The Processes are a set of interrelated activities focused on realization of a given objective. The Values are standards of behaviour and existence which are personally or socially preferable as opposed to the inverted pattern of behaviour or existence. The Facts are objectively verifiable reality. The basic concept is modelling of educational software customized to the user. According to the conceptual model of the author, the first requirement for customization is to define a user model. A user model is a mental picture of cognitive possibilities of a user based on the type of personality. There are different interpretations of personality typology that can be found in literature. The authors have adopted the ten personality type classification by Jean Piaget as a basis for the proposed modelling of educational software, customised to the type of personality, for the purpose of acquisition of knowledge, skills and habits in the most efficient manner.
