Some Aspects of Teaching Processes Computerization

From the teaching processes computerization point of view, there is an absence of state-of-the-art approaches to their automation derived from “knowledge” as the key element of teaching and learning (including human knowledge transmission taking place in the framework of communication and feedback). This contribution presents such an approach, dealing with how the automation is solved when computerizing teaching processes. It has been developed within the published long-term research on the technology-enhanced learning and works in the teaching practice (it is applied to teaching bachelors students). The approach is based on the design of the “virtual knowledge unit”, as the default data structure, which is both human and machine readable. This enables the teacher not only to process learning content but also to automate communication and feedback thanks to the possibility to transmit the knowledge, i.e. the teaching and learning content, between off-line and online environments by using the virtual knowledge unit. The virtual knowledge joins isomorphically the mental processes of humans with the physical processes of machines. From the practical point of view, the data structure is handled and controlled by the in-house software BIKEE. This database application enables a teacher to solve any kind of teaching and learning processes tailor made for him. Based on the teaching practice, this approach seems to be beyond the state-of-the-art. This can be concluded because a registered utility model, based on the use of virtual knowledge, is used for the knowledge transfer. Some aspects of teaching processes computerization are discussed regarding the automation of mental processes. In this context, the actual research is focused on development of an educational robot.
