| Abstract | The teaching of algorithm design is a subject of great difficulty, however, its
value has not been addressed in the curriculum of computer studies in secondary
schools. The aim of this paper is twofold: to describe the method and design
principles of developing the Traffic Light System Simulator (TLSS) and to
discuss a learning example of using TLSS. The TLSS is a learner-centred
simulation tool for learning algorithm design. It provides a daily life problem in
a learning environment. In solving the problem, students are encouraged to
think and construct their own possible solutions. It is believed that the TLSS
would inspire students to look beyond the traffic light simulation and transfer the
insight to the learning of algorithmic thinking. |
