Liu, Chiung-Wen; Ho, Li-An; Chueh, Ting-Yu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Because the microworld can create a learning environment that allows learners to interact with the real world, the view of the microworld has been widely used in education and training. In this study, the simulated transactional interactive concurrent system (STICS) was used to provide an environment that simulates the stock market trading of the…
