  2. Instruction cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_cycle

    The instruction cycle (also known as the fetch–decode–execute cycle, or simply the fetch–execute cycle) is the cycle that the central processing unit (CPU) follows from boot-up until the computer has shut down in order to process instructions. It is composed of three main stages: the fetch stage, the decode stage, and the execute stage.

  3. State diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_diagram

    A state diagram for a door that can only be opened and closed. A state diagram is used in computer science and related fields to describe the behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system is composed of a finite number of states. Sometimes, this is indeed the case, while at other times this is a reasonable abstraction.

  4. Branch predictor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_predictor

    An indirect jump instruction can choose among more than two branches. Some processors have specialized indirect branch predictors. [17] [18] Newer processors from Intel [19] and AMD [20] can predict indirect branches by using a two-level adaptive predictor. This kind of instruction contributes more than one bit to the history buffer.

  5. Instructional design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_design

    Instructional design (ID), also known as instructional systems design and originally known as instructional systems development (ISD), is the practice of systematically designing, developing and delivering instructional materials and experiences, both digital and physical, in a consistent and reliable fashion toward an efficient, effective, appealing, engaging and inspiring acquisition of ...

  6. First Principles of Instruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../First_Principles_of_Instruction

    There is a growing body of research support for Merrill's First Principles of Instruction. In one study, researchers surveyed 140 students at 89 different higher education institutions and discovered that students were 9 times more likely to report that they had mastered learning the course objectives when First Principles of Instruction were used and when they spent ample time and effort ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_(computing)

    The instruction cycle (also known as the fetch–decode–execute cycle, or simply the fetch-execute cycle) is the cycle that the central processing unit (CPU) follows from boot-up until the computer has shut down in order to process instructions. It is composed of three main stages: the fetch stage, the decode stage, and the execute stage.

  8. Turing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine

    The diagram "progress of the computation" shows the three-state busy beaver's "state" (instruction) progress through its computation from start to finish. On the far right is the Turing "complete configuration" (Kleene "situation", Hopcroft–Ullman "instantaneous description") at each step.

  9. Instructional theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_theory

    An instructional theory is "a theory that offers explicit guidance on how to better help people learn and develop." [ 1 ] It provides insights about what is likely to happen and why with respect to different kinds of teaching and learning activities while helping indicate approaches for their evaluation. [ 2 ]
