Software Model for Learning Quarry Industry Impacts on Green Environment

Simulation and visualization (S&V) enable the knowledge exploration in different domains. It supports the hazardous, danger, time-consuming or complex scenario to be created and practiced. Previous studies based on environmental-based software models, were found inadequate to meet the different and dynamic users' need. Earlier works were specified commonly for industrial use and less attention on the learning domains although previous researchers found that environmental-based learning activities could enhanced students' interest and motivation in learning process. This paper proposes the software model for learning the impact of quarry industry on green environment or PRInK model which consists of Computer Assisted Learning (CAI); Stage and motivation process; Environmental data; Learning outcome; and Adaptation to the scenario. This study suggests the development of Environment Educational Learning System or EELS which is based on the PRInK model. The software model for EELS comprises of system architecture, use case and data flow diagram. The software model is used to visualize the abstraction of the proposed EELS prototype system and to document the requirements. The PRInK model and the EELS system apply the environmental computational model in S&V and 5E learning model that allow users to experience the engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration and evaluation in the learning process. This paper contributes to the establishment of reference model for software development through simulation and visualization in supporting the learning requirements based on actual industry scenario.
