Mirjana Maricic; Stanko Cvjeticanin; Branko Andic; Mia Maric; Aleksandar Petojevic – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2024
This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of applying instructive simulation experiments (SE) to the development of deeper conceptual understanding, retention of static electricity contents, and engagement of 4th-grade students. The correlation between student achievements and engagement was examined. 76 4th graders (10-11 years) were…

Seker, Burcu Sezginsoy; Erdem, Aliye – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2017
Students learning a defined subject only perform by learning of thinking based on the concepts forming that subjects. Otherwise, students may move away from the scientific meaning of concepts and may fall into conceptual errors. Students' conceptual errors affect their following learning and cause them resist change. It is possible to prevent this…

Dickes, Amanda Catherine; Sengupta, Pratim – Research in Science Education, 2013
In this paper, we investigate how elementary school students develop multi-level explanations of population dynamics in a simple predator-prey ecosystem, through scaffolded interactions with a multi-agent-based computational model (MABM). The term "agent" in an MABM indicates individual computational objects or actors (e.g., cars), and these…

Lim, Cher, P.; Nonis, Darren; Hedberg, John – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2006
Based on the exploratory study of a 3D multiuser virtual environment (3D MUVE), known as Quest Atlantis (QA), in a series of Primary Four (10- to 11-year-olds) Science lessons at Orchard Primary School in Singapore, this paper examines the issues of learning engagement and describes the socio-cultural context of QA's implementation. The students…
