Zoupidis, Anastasios; Spyrtou, Anna; Pnevmatikos, Dimitris; Kariotoglou, Petros – Themes in eLearning, 2018
In the present paper, we have examined the impact of explicit linkage between simulated (i.e., virtual) and real (i.e., physical) experimental settings in order to scaffold conceptual understanding, in the case of floating and sinking (F/S) phenomena explanations. This research is part of a research-based curriculum project and has been…
