requires mastery and simultaneous applicationof concepts from several earlier courses. To address this educational challenge, based on thisNSF-supported project, we have designed and developed a software tutor to help students in thiscourse by providing a scaffold to translate visual information (circuit diagrams) to writteninformation (equations) and analyze a power electronic converter circuit. The developedweb-based software tool uses scaffolding as an interactive well-established pedagogical approachto improve students’ learning and problem solving skills. Scaffolding provides students with atemplate and dynamic feedback to assist them in their early stages of learning. In our case, thedeveloped software tutor assists students by scaffolding

understood by learning. For each school subject there must be a corresponding academic discipline as represented in the universities. Because the disciplines are dynamic they are concerned as much with “what will be” as with “what was” [14]. That this is so, is illustrated by the great curriculum projects that were undertaken in the sixties and seventies because in the U.S. teachers did not have the resources to undertake such developments which normally be considered to be part of the role of the teacher functioning in this ideology [15]. The scholar academic ideology is teacher centred. Information is conveyed to the mind which reasons about it, as required. Learning is the result of teaching [16]. Because each
