Peer reviewedEdwards, Morfydd G.; Weller, Bernard E. – Computers and Education, 1986
Describes a general purpose microcomputer-based system designed to support small-scale experimentation in the physical sciences in student laboratories. System requirements, teacher reactions, and educational implications are discussed; design criteria are established; and examples are given of the system's application to some simple experiments.…

Brasell, Heather – 1987
Two questions about the effects of microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) activities on graphing skills were addressed in this study: (1) the extent to which activities help students link their concrete experiences with motion with graphic representations of these experiences; and (2) the degree of importance of the real-time aspect of the MBL in…

Butzow, John W. – 1988
This study summarizes data collection activities associated with the first two years of a large scale project involving teachers of science and mathematics with computers. The innovation being implemented in the project is that of using computer based strategies directly in the teaching of science and mathematics in the classroom and laboratory.…

Effects of microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) exercises and level of cognitive development on high school biology students' ability to construct and interpret line graphs were investigated. Forty-six students enrolled in general biology classes at a rural high school volunteered to participate in the study. These students were administered…

Peer reviewedStein, Joanne Striley – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1987
Designed to evaluate the use of microcomputer-based labware (MBL) in junior high school science, the Computer as Lab Partner Project examined classroom experience of using MBL; system features used and curriculum designed; classroom procedures, processes, and interactions; gains and benefits of MBL use; and potential difficulties in MBL…

Smith, Stanley G.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1986
Discusses production and evaluation of interactive computer-assisted videodisc laboratory tutorial simulations for use in prelaboratory instruction and as laboratory experiment replacement in an undergraduate chemistry course. Student performance on laboratory reports and tests was significantly better for students who utilized the simulations.…
