Crosscutting Mental Models

Image
Crosscutting concepts helps in transfer of learning in all domains and are important tools for making sense of phenomena that can be observed and the mental model is an explanation of someone's thought process about how something works in the real world. Patterns : Observed patterns of forms and events guide organization and classification of prompt questions about relationships and factors that influence them.   e.g. How would you classify introvert and extroverts by looking at the patterns? What are the similarities and differences between them? Is introversion or extroversion comes under a spectrum or is dichotomous (mutually exclusive). Do introverts pull themselves further towards extreme introversion after knowing they are introverts (The Self-fulfilling prophecy in the beginning, a false definition of the situation, evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true. )? What are the advantages and disadvantages of introverts and extroverts? Key

The Competitive Collaboration Algorithm

Competitive Collaboration Algorithm: It's a decentralized network where you compete to collaborate. Edge weight represents difficulty to get connected. Difficulty depends on factors such as distance, location, quality, price. We need to choose subgraph containing all the required nodes (e.g. nodes containing a,b,c,d ) that has a minimum weight or optimal weight. a,b,c,d can represent different services, whereas a1, a2 represents the same services from a different service provider. For example, 'a' can represent a student, 'b' can represent a teacher, 'c' can represent content provider such as a biology textbook and 'd' can represent a classroom or building. Similarly  'b1' represents teacher1, 'b2' represents teacher2, etc. So, For student1 (a1), the optimum subgraph or subgraph with minimum weight containing all the required services are a1,b1,c2, d2 with weight 0.5+2.3+4.2 . Usefulness of the model: 1) Prediction: One can make a pr
