Direct linkVilarta Rodriguez, Luiza; van der Veen, Jan T.; Anjewierden, Anjo; van den Berg, Ed; de Jong, Ton – Physics Education, 2020
This paper describes the design process for a digital instructional sequence on introductory quantum physics for upper secondary education. Based on a collaboration between teachers and physics education researchers, this sequence incorporates relevant theoretical foundations from the field of science teaching to promote meaningful and conceptual…

Zacharia, Zacharias C.; de Jong, Ton – Cognition and Instruction, 2014
This study investigates whether Virtual Manipulatives (VM) within a Physical Manipulatives (PM)-oriented curriculum affect conceptual understanding of electric circuits and related experimentation processes. A pre-post comparison study randomly assigned 194 undergraduates in an introductory physics course to one of five conditions: three…

Vreman-de Olde, Cornelise; de Jong, Ton – International Journal of Science Education, 2004
In this study we investigated the design of assignments by students as a knowledge-generating activity. Students were required to design assignments for 'other students' in a computer simulation environment about electrical circuits. Assignments consisted of a question, alternatives, and feedback on those alternatives. In this way, subjects were…

Hulshof, Casper D.; de Jong, Ton – Interactive Learning Environments, 2006
Students encounter many obstacles during scientific discovery learning with computer-based simulations. It is hypothesized that an effective type of support, that does not interfere with the scientific discovery learning process, should be delivered on a "just-in-time" base. This study explores the effect of facilitating access to…

van der Meij, Jan; de Jong, Ton – Learning and Instruction, 2006
In this study, the effects of different types of support for learning from multiple representations in a simulation-based learning environment were examined. The study extends known research by examining the use of dynamic representations instead of static representations and it examines the role of the complexity of the domain and the learning…

Peer reviewedde Jong, Ton – Education and Computing, 1991
Discusses the use of computer simulations in an instructional context and emphasizes the need for learner support. The SIMULATE project (Simulation Authoring Tools Environment) is described, the concept of intelligent simulation learning environments (ISLEs) is explained, and a conceptual framework for articles included in this issue is presented.…

Peer reviewedde Jong, Ton; Martin, Ernesto; Zamarro, Jose-Miguel; Esquembre, Francisco; Swaak, Janine; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Discusses a case study on discovery learning with a computer simulation environment in the physics domain of collisions. Finds that providing assignments with the simulation improves students' performance on one aspect of an intuitive-knowledge test. Contains 43 references. (Author/WRM)

Njoo, Melanie; de Jong, Ton – 1991
This paper contains the results of a study on the importance of discovery learning using computer simulations. The purpose of the study was to identify what constitutes discovery learning and to assess the effects of instructional support measures. College students were observed working with an assignment and a computer simulation in the domain of…

Peer reviewedde Jong, Ton; And Others – Computers and Education, 1992
Presents results of a 1991 national survey conducted in The Netherlands that investigated the use of computer-assisted learning (CAL) in higher education. Topics addressed include academic disciplines using CAL; types of CAL, including drills, tutorials, and simulations; level of learner control; authoring languages and programing languages; and…
