Research on the Experimental Teaching Reform of Computer Organization Principles Based on Proteus Virtual Simulation
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v6i6.4691
Abstract
In view of the problems such as hardware solidification, cumbersome operation and poor flexibility existing in the traditional experimental teaching of computer organization principles, this study proposes an experimental teaching reform plan based on Proteus virtual simulation. A complete virtual simulation experimental teaching system has been established by constructing hierarchical experimental modules. During the implementation of the reform, four steps were adopted: theoretical preparation, simulation tool training, hierarchical experiments, and innovative challenges, to ensure that students could gradually master the design and implementation methods of computer hardware systems. After two semesters of teaching practice, the results show that the students' experimental completion rate has increased from 68% to 92%, the accuracy rate of knowledge point mastery has risen by 46%, 85% of the students believe that virtual simulation is more intuitive than traditional experiments, and 70% of the students indicate that their innovation ability has been significantly enhanced. This study also constructed a complete teaching resource system including a virtual experiment library, supporting teaching materials and teaching papers. In the future, the experimental scenarios will be further expanded, with the addition of contents such as the collaborative design of Cache and main memory, and the simulation of multi-core CPU storage consistency. A hybrid experimental platform of "virtual simulation +FPGA verification" will also be constructed to continuously improve the quality and effect of the experimental teaching of computer organization principles.
