Causey, Robert L. – Perspectives in Computing: Applications in the Academic and Scientific Community, 1987
Describes two interactive computer programs that simulate abstract relationships and require students to use inductive reasoning, form and test hypotheses, and analyze functions of systems and the reasoning processes required to understand them. Their development and use in college philosophy of science courses is outlined, and possible future…
