“…Across the literature, there are other subtle methodologies for teaching programming and related courses, including the constructivist‐based approach [95], Short‐Term Fourier (STFT) and Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) [101], fuzzy logic [144], game‐based learning, and collaborative programming [19]. Similar to program animations, these methodologies have also reported promising results.…”

Over the last few decades, computer programming has become an important field of endeavor due to rapid development in the information sector. Despite the importance of programming, there is a growing concern that it is relatively difficult. In the process, researchers have started employing media tools to reduce programming difficulties and motivate learners to approach programming problems. One of the common tools widely used is program animation—an instructional medium that incorporates animated characters. However, little is known about the research trends in this field of study. This article, therefore, employed a systematic mapping method to review this trend to find patterns and gaps left in the literature. The study extracted 48 articles published between 2000 and 2022 from four scientific databases (Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and ERIC) and three digital libraries (ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, and Wiley Online Library). The review discovered important trends. First, there is a paucity of research evidence evaluating program animation in the context of secondary and elementary levels; the majority of the extracted studies focused on participants from tertiary institutions. A similar paucity of research evidence employing mixed methods and qualitative approaches was also noted. Scratch programs were used in recent research more often than other program animations. There is also too little evaluation of psychomotor variables. Finally, there exist inconsistent findings on the effect of program animation although plenty of studies revealed positive results in favor of these media tools. The study therefore recommends that future research should be conducted to fill these identified gaps.

“…Parameter estimation has already been studied from a different point of view. For example, the parameters of the motors when controlling in the open and closed-loop have been proposed not only for AC electrical machines [17], but also for DC motors [18,19]. Knowing the parameters of the dynamic model helps to perform multiple control and automation tasks.…”

This article presents the use of the equations of the dynamic response to a step input in metaheuristic algorithm for the parametric estimation of a motor model. The model equations are analyzed, and the relations in steady-state and transient-state are used as delimiters in the search. These relations reduce the number of random parameters in algorithm search and reduce the iterations to find an acceptable result. The tests were implemented in two motors of known parameters to estimate the performance of the modifications in the algorithms. Tests were carried out with three algorithms (Gray Wolf Optimizer, Jaya Algorithm, and Cuckoo Search Algorithm) to prove that the benefits can be extended to various metaheuristics. The search parameters were also varied, and tests were developed with different iterations and populations. The results show an improvement for all the algorithms used, achieving the same error as the original method but with 10 to 50% fewer iterations.

Performing control is necessary for processes where a variable needs to be regulated. Even though conventional techniques are widely preferred for their implementation, they present limitations in systems in which the parameters vary over time, which is why methods that use artificial intelligence algorithms have been developed to improve the results given by the controller. This work focuses on implementing a position controller based on fuzzy logic in a real platform that consists of the base of a 3D printer, the direct current motor that modifies the position in this base, the power stage and the acquisition card. The contribution of this work is the use of genetic algorithms to optimize the values of the membership functions in the fuzzification of the input variables to the controller. Four scenarios were analyzed, in which the trajectory and the weight of the system were modified. The results obtained in the experimentation show that the rising and setting times of the proposed controller are better than those obtained by similar techniques that were previously developed in the literature. It was also verified that the proposed technique reached the desired values even when the initial conditions in the system changed.
