Intelligence technologies in Mathematics Education: AnyLogic for the production of learning objects

Abstract

This work aims to present a tool for authoring learning objects (LO) for mathematics education in digital culture. This context reveals simulation as the new way of knowing the world through three modeling methods: discrete events, agent-based and system dynamics. Convergence culture was used as a selection criterion, resulting in AnyLogic software as the only authoring tool capable of simultaneously performing these three types of modeling. To analyze it, we built an object that simulated the availability of care in a hospital during an epidemic. The results point to a code block programming culture in AnyLogic when creating the LO. In the simulation, we observed that depending on the number of vacancies in the hospital, we have the severity of the disease and, consequently, the level of concern of those infected, compatible with the situation of the epidemic.
