Abstract

In universities, a common task of lectures and professors is to design an appropriate teaching strategy for each subject. The main goal of this paper is to provide a mechanism that assists them in this task. In particular, the current approach uses an agent-based simulator for this purpose. This simulator allows teachers to simulate the influence of a teaching strategy in the sociometric status of a specific group of students. Since the cohesion of a group is usually related to its performance, teachers can choose between several possible strategies considering their simulated cohesion. This paper briefly presents two experiences with the current approach in two different engineering grades (i.e. computer science engineering and electrical engineering) in the University of Zaragoza.
