The purpose of drill and practice is to help students achieve mastery of concepts through interesting and repetitive practice.
Drill and practice
Drill-and-practice is an educational strategy where students practice previously learned skills through repetitive exercises to achieve mastery without error. It provides corrective feedback, chunks information, and allows for practice. While it can become boring and repetitive if overused, drill-and-practice is effective for acquiring fundamental skills when used appropriately, as seen with examples like flashcards for math facts or sight words, computer games, and homework worksheets.
Simulation and Modeling
Simulation is used to create models that represent real world systems and allow experimenting with different strategies without impacting the actual system. Models simplify real systems for analysis while maintaining key behaviors and results. Successful simulation models are easy to understand, represent the system accurately, produce fast results, and allow control and updating. Simulators are used when real experimentation is unsafe, too expensive, or when systems are still in development. Common uses of simulation include modeling systems in fields like military, education, healthcare, and engineering.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Simulation Program and Instructional Games
- 2. OBJECTIVES : The students should be able : a. To know the importance of simulation programs and instructional games. b. To play the games Simcity and Geosafari.
- 4. Simulation Software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formula. It is essentially a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation.
- 5. Simulation software is use widely to design equipment so that the final product will be as close to design specs as possible without expensive in process modification.
- 6. Simulation Software materials are another kind of software that are contructivist in nature.These simulation software : • teaches strategies and rules applied to real-life problems.
- 7. • ask students to make decisions on model s or scenarios. • allows students to manipulate elements of a model and get the experience of the effects of their decision.
- 8. An example of such software is Simcity in which students are allowed to artificially manage a city given an imaginary city environment .
- 9. Decision-making involves such factors as budget,crime, education,transportation, energy resources, waste disposal, business/industries available.
- 10. Example :
- 11. Simcity is an open-ended city-building computer and console video game series originally designed by developer Will Wright. It is published by Maxis. Genres : Construction and management simulation, City-building game Publishers: Electronic Arts,Nintendo, Maxis,Fujitsu Designers: Will Wright, Stone Librande,Ocean Quigley, Fred Haslam
- 13. While relating to low-level learning objectives ( e. g basic spelling or math skills) instructional computer games add the elements of competition and challenge.
- 14. An example is Geosafari which introduces adventure activities for Geography History and Science. The program can be played by up to 4 players to form teams. Learning outcomes can be achieved along simple memorization of,information,keyboarding skills, cooperation and social interaction.
- 16. Is an educational toy company that releases various technological educational toys, including Geosafari Globe and the Phonics Lab.
- 17. The toy released in the year 1987 by the National Geographic Society and later the Educational Insight Society. It originally cost $99.95. The system used two-sided laminated cards that fit into the front of the machine. The center of the card had numbered elements that were the answers,and the sides of the card had alist of question or prompts.
- 18. The device would turn on a light next into the random question ,and the user would type in the number of the answer element.After all the questioned were answered it would present a score.
- 19. Card topis include d history,geography,math,as tronomy, zoology, anatomy, geology and science, foreign languages, reading and various others.
