Kaput, James J.; Pattison-Gordon, Laurie – 1987
This document is intended to describe several software learning environments in an order that parallels a reasonable sequence of use by students. It also describes a planned an designed, but not yet implemented, extension of these environments from the discrete to the continuous case. Each of the implemented environments was developed in…

Teaching Scientific Methodology through Microcomputer Simulations in Genetics. Final Project Report.
Kellogg, Ted; Latson, Jon – 1986
There are two major concerns about the teaching of high school biology. One is the degree to which students memorize laws, facts, and principles, and the second involves the role of the classroom teacher. These aspects result in a discrepancy between the theory and practice of science education. The purpose of this report is to provide: (1) a…

Licht, Norman – 1984
The purpose of this study was to determine whether an electronic geoboard, a computer-software program, could be used to assess youngsters' ability to discover facts and relationships in an unlabled and ambiguous situation. Subjects--108 children, ages 6 to 12--were enrolled in grades 1 to 6 in Norwood, New York. The electronic geoboard served as…

Adams, D. Daryl; Shrum, John W. – 1988
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…

Krajcik, Joseph S.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1988
Describes a research strategy designed to examine learning and behavior when students interacted with microcomputers and software interfaced with a videotape cassette recorder (VCR). Utilized the VCR to record the video output from the microcomputer and students' verbal comments using a microphone unit. (TW)

Koch, Helmut; And Others – 1988
This paper describes a joint research project between science educators and computer science software engineers. A computer software system based on cognitive learning theory was designed that was intended to be relevant to teaching, learning, curriculum development, and research in science education. The generic prototype software system was…

Schibeci, R. A. – 1987
There are a number of ways in which the educational applications of computers can be categorized. This document focuses on the use of computers in science teaching. It differentiates between such terminology as tutor, tool, tutee, tutorial dialogue, revelatory use, conjectural use, and emancipatory use. The major portion of this paper is a…

Porter, Tod S.; Riley, Teresa M. – Journal of Economic Education, 1996
Compares academic performance between two groups of students in a statistics course. One group was given homework generated by computer software that provided feedback concerning incorrect answers. The other relied on the textbook without benefit of the feedback. The group using the software performed better on homework and tests. (MJP)

Swadener, Marc; Jarrett, Karen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Discusses the results of a survey on the usage of computers in secondary schools. Indicates that the majority of use was by computer classes; more staff development is needed for teachers of non-computer classes; and there is insufficient hardware and software available for non-computer classes.

Proctor, James D.; And Others – Journal of Geography, 1995
Describes a pilot project that implemented and tested an interactive system of multimedia computer learning modules for an introductory human geography course. The project used a sequential learning process moving from initial concepts, to collaborative writing, and on to geographical analyses by the students. Includes assignment examples, system…
