Techno Neuro Pedagogy System: An Instructional Design Methodology for Customized Online Courses (Virtual Customized Environment Learning)

Abstract

The Techno Neuro Pedagogy System (TNPS) is a systemic process with interrelated activities that allows you to create environments that facilitate the mediation processes on knowledge construction in virtual environments. Similarly to life cycle in software development, it consists of eight phases: analysis, design, development, testing, implementation, documentation, maintenance, and evaluation. TNPS incorporates a life cycle model of incremental and iterative software development that is an essential part of software engineering. TNPS integrates Education, Neuroscience and Technological dimensions, which facilitate the development of cognitive profile of student thinking in order to customize his/her learning activities. In our experiments, an increment in the weights of thinking style used by the students on a Structured Programming course was observed.
