Direct linkRutten, Nico; van Joolingen, Wouter R.; van der Veen, Jan T. – Computers & Education, 2012
This article reviews the (quasi)experimental research of the past decade on the learning effects of computer simulations in science education. The focus is on two questions: how use of computer simulations can enhance traditional education, and how computer simulations are best used in order to improve learning processes and outcomes. We report on…

The Relation of Learners' Motivation with the Process of Collaborative Scientific Discovery Learning
Saab, Nadira; van Joolingen, Wouter R.; van Hout-Wolters, B. H. A. M. – Educational Studies, 2009
In this study, we investigated the influence of individual learners' motivation on the collaborative discovery learning process. In this we distinguished the motivation of the individual learners and had eye for the composition of groups, which could be homogeneous or heterogeneous in terms of motivation. The study involved 73 dyads of 10th-grade…

Peer reviewedvan Joolingen, Wouter R.; de Jong, Ton – Instructional Science, 1992
Discussion of computer simulations used for exploratory learning focuses on the design of a hypothesis scratchpad that students can use for hypothesis generation and testing. An experiment with college chemistry students that compared three versions of the scratchpad is described, and the effect of the scratchpads on learning environments is…
