Mešic, Vanes; Jusko, Aida; Beatovic, Bojana; Fetahovic-Hrvat, Amina – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Students spend much time in doing their physics homework. Whether this effort results in deep learning depends on the quality of the mere homework. Therefore, we designed a minds-on simulation-based approach to physics homework and conducted a pretest-posttest quasi-experiment to compare its effectiveness to the effectiveness of traditional…

de Groot, Isolde – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Election simulations are considered a viable tool to instigate democratic learning in schools. This paper reports an explorative qualitative inquiry into one type of simulation project: mock-elections (ME). Main objective was to gain an insight into the organization of ME-practices in eight schools in the Netherlands in 2012. Thematic analysis of…
