摘要:Between a theoretically analytic approach in training for professional activity and an efficient professional activity there is an educational space which in modern education belongs to models and simulations. Models and simulations are today used in industry, science and education, like techniques for exploration or teaching techniques that reproduce actual events and processes under terms of testing. The technology for prognostication of complex dynamic phenomenon’s is based on three types of inner base work in various models of human and other complex interactions and those are: Invariants , Growth Curves, Cyclic Waves. Each of those different forms can be dominant in the foretelling in a given model or time. The use of simulation techniques in experimental purposes allows explorers to make exotic experiments or demonstration without the use of rare materials or expensive technology, and the use of simulation models like educational techniques allows students to act in vital, realistic situation without the catastrophic consequences to which their bad decisions would lead to. Foretelling simulations convinced the Military top of the U. S, that success in war campaigns could be achieved with minimum loss if an air campaign op large proportions is used. So we don’t find it awkward that today in dozens of U. S. army bases pilots and other compete in simulated battles connected together in a military system called SIMNET. Simulations become the most important tactical tools to conquer the future, as we want it. The trouble with models is that their construction is never locked, that is that their creation is an infinite process. Models must be constantly remodeled and fed with new data. Research of educational consequences of simulation has shown that simulations are more efficient in the transfer of knowledge the more realistic they are. If we want to better our educational processes what we need to develop is not simulation models but the making of simulation models.
