Algorithms in Learning, Teaching, and Instructional Design.

Abstract

The concept of algorithm, as used in teaching and learning, is defined. Characteristics of algorithms are identified and described. The elements (operator, discriminator, syntactic structure) are described and illustrated. Methods of representing algorithms are portrayed. Differences between identification algorithms, transformation algorithms, and search algorithms are discussed. Use of algorithms in instruction and training are suggested. Several research and development tasks are proposed. (Author)
