AB  - As evidenced by students’ inability to explain their solutions, abstract concepts without direct physical representations in engineering are difficult to grasp because they lack direct sensory, physical, or perceptual referents. In this pilot study, we investigate whether visual aids help students better understand abstract concepts and improve their learning outcomes. Specifically, in the context of the (Q, r) model in the inventory control theory, we first develop visual aids for learning and teaching, i.e., the animation of line plots that show the evolution of key quantities in the (Q, r) model over time. We then plan to use a paired t-test to see if there is any difference between the students’ scores in the pre-test (before introducing visual aids) and post-test (after introducing visual aids), as well as normalized gain for analysis. In addition, as an alternative approach, we discuss tactile learning and teaching aids for the (Q, r) model.
