Reflection on STELLA software

In doing the report for STELLA software, I feel that it is more difficult compared to other previous assignment. This is because, for this assignment, I need to explore about the software first. I have to test the samples given and explore all the icons, arrows and instruction given in the software. Then, later I need to write a report about the software; how the simulation operate, how does the buttons work, which are the best(using real model or using simulation), which buttons work for which function, and many more. 

Other than that, I also need to write about the how the simulation affect students and how it motivates students to learn more. In the report, I need to write about what are the reasons for this. Then, I have to connect and figure what are the relation between the simulation and the students motivation. Other than that, I also need to find how does it increase the students motivation and does it motivate extrinsically or intrinsically. 

For me, in doing the STELLA software assignment, I found it to be easy after I have downloaded the  software and figure it by myself. I also think that this software is really helping in doing the simulation because the results are gained in many forms, so I have bigger choice in writing the report.

This is the example of the software’s interface,
