The Development and Application of the Experimental Teaching System for the Transfer of Function Parameters Based on Virtual Simulation Technology
The operating process of the computer program is invisible,so it is difficult for teachers to describe the process of the parameter transfer clearly by the method of drawing explanation,and for students to understand the working mechanism of the parameter passing,which makes the problem of function parameter passing a pain point for teachers and students.Generally,there are four methods of the function parameter transfer,but no programming language can support all four methods at the same time.To meet the needs of learners of different programming languages,a universal online experimental teaching system for the function parameter passing is constructed based on virtual simulation technology.In the virtual simulation module,the dynamic changes of computer memory could be simulated and displayed when the function pseudo-code is running according to the input parameter values and parameter passing mode,so that the parameter transfer process becomes intuitive and easy for students to understand the working mechanism of function parameter passing.Moreover,the modules of the basic experiment training,extended experiment improvement and test enhancement play an auxiliary role in the achievement of teaching objectives.The results of teaching practice show that the method can effectively mobilize students'enthusiasm and initiative in learning,and has obvious results in assisting students to master the knowledge of function parameter passing.
