An Investigation of Attitudes towards the Use of Computer Games and Simulations in the Primary/Elementary Classroom Environment.
Godfreyson, John Ernst – 1984
This report summarizes an investigation of the attitudes of elementary students, teachers, and parents toward the use of educational computer games and simulations in a teaching/learning situation. Following a statement of the project purpose and a literature review, the courseware selection process is described. (This process resulted in use of…

Davis, Barbara Gross – 1985
To explore the potential of computer controlled videodiscs for simulating undergraduate science laboratory instruction, the Annenberg/CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) Project funded the University of Nebraska to create and field test six videodisc laboratory experiments, two each in biology, chemistry, and physics. The six discs were…

Two Studies Show Students Gain When Teaming Up.
Bracey, Gerald W. – Electronic Learning, 1988
Reviews two studies whose results indicate that students who share computers develop better work skills and social attitudes. One study, using eighth graders and a computer simulation, measured performance on worksheets and final exams. The second study used language learning via computer-assisted instruction to compare results on achievement…
