Abstract:

Survey-based research methodology is commonly used in various disciplines ranging from social sciences to healthcare. However, considering practical constraints, it is difficult to provide real world experience of survey sampling methodologies to students and novice researchers. In this paper, we propose development of a virtual learning environment based on agent modeling to help learn different aspects and challenges in survey-based research. A study scenario of adoption of an improved cookstove is developed as an agent model, where each household (sample point) is an agent. The agent's behavior is defined using statecharts and system dynamics models. The agent-based environment has been used to illustrate various learning points for students and novice researchers.
