Eckhardt, Marc; Urhahne, Detlef; Conrad, Olaf; Harms, Ute – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
The study examined the effects of two different instructional interventions as support for scientific discovery learning using computer simulations. In two well-known categories of difficulty, data interpretation and self-regulation, instructional interventions for learning with computer simulations on the topic "ecosystem water" were developed…

Keener-Chavis, Paula; Goodwin, Mel – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2009
The implications of Earth's ocean being little explored may not be immediately evident to individuals who are not ocean literate. For this reason, initiatives to improve ocean literacy must articulate compelling reasons for ocean exploration. A lesson plan that addresses this issue has been developed as part of the education and outreach program…

Zhang, Jianwei; Chen, Qi; Sun, Yanquing; Reid, David J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2004
Learning support studies involving simulation-based scientific discovery learning have tended to adopt an ad hoc strategies-oriented approach in which the support strategies are typically pre-specified according to learners' difficulties in particular activities. This article proposes a more integrated approach, a triple scheme for learning…
