Abstract: Herein, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Modeling is considered to mathematically formulate an interesting and rather challenging educational issue; namely, searching for optimality in an educational methodology for teaching children how to read. The adopted search approach is inspired by relevant artificial neural network modeling based on neuro-biological characterizations. That is rather than other classical approaches inspired by psychological and psycho-linguistics research directions. Fortunately, dominant optimality of teaching reading phonically over other methodologies has been recently proven by a simulated but realistic model along with published results, subsequent to an educational field testing. Consequently, mathematical formulation of phonics methodology is a highly recommended research work to justify that optimality. Herein, mathematical formulation performed via comparative analogy with a naturally inspired artificial neural network (ANN) model. More precisely, that fulfilled on the basis of realistically simulated modeling of selforganized (unsupervised) learning paradigm originated from Hebb's learning rule. In other words, modeling of Hebbian rule essentially depends upon biological information processing to construct associative memory phenomenon after Pavlovian conditioning learning. Conclusively, presented mathematical formulation supported superiority as well as optimality of teaching reading using phonics methodology. | ||||
