Fung, Chak Him; Poon, Kin Keung – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This study consisted of two stages. In stage A, 38 students were divided randomly into an experimental and a control group. The experimental group received lectures assisted by dynamic geometry software (DGS) and the control group received lectures using chalk and blackboard. The effects of DGS on metacognition and its components were…

Brom, Cyril; Preuss, Michal; Klement, Daniel – Computers & Education, 2011
Curricular schooling can benefit from the usage of educational computer games, but it is difficult to integrate them in the formal schooling system. Here, we investigate one possible approach to this integration, which capitalizes on using a micro-game that can be played with a teacher's guidance as a supplement after a traditional expository…

Starbek, P.; Erjavec, M. Starcic; Peklaj, C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
The main goal of this study was to explore whether the use of multimedia in genetics instruction contributes more to students' knowledge and comprehension than other instructional modes. We were also concerned with the influence of different instructional modes on the retention of knowledge and comprehension. In a quasi-experimental design, four…

Owusu, K. A.; Monney, K. A.; Appiah, J. Y.; Wilmot, E. M. – Computers & Education, 2010
This study investigated the comparative efficiency of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and conventional teaching method in biology on senior high school students. A science class was selected in each of two randomly selected schools. The pretest-posttest non equivalent quasi experimental design was used. The students in the experimental group…
