Lee, Silvia Wen-Yu; Shih, Meilun; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tseng, Yi-Chen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
The purpose of this study was to investigate the affordances of participatory simulations by comparing students' models of engagement and science learning outcomes in a multi-team participatory simulated game (MPSG) and a single-team participatory simulated game (SPSG). Two versions of a mobile-based game about marine fishery management were…

Berg, Craig; Carvan, Michael; Hesselbach, Renee; Luo, Zhihui; Petering, David; Pickart, Michael; Tomasiewicz, Henry; Weber, Daniel; Shukla, Rekha; Goldberg, Barbara – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
The objective of our program is to foster and facilitate authentic research experiences in middle and high school science courses. We do so by providing students with a complete experience in scientific experimentation and communication. The centerpiece is a set of experiment modules in which students investigate the effects of toxic chemicals on…

Basawapatna, Ashok – Educational Technology & Society, 2016
Simulation and modeling activities, a key point of computational thinking, are currently not being integrated into the science classroom. This paper describes a new visual programming tool entitled the Simulation Creation Toolkit. The Simulation Creation Toolkit is a high level pattern-based phenomenological approach to bringing rapid simulation…

Weigend, Michael – Informatics in Education, 2014
Scientific issues like the behavior of wild and domesticated animals can serve as a motivation to learn programming concepts. Instead of following a systematic introduction, the students directly dive into programming and start immediately with their projects. In this constructionist approach the educational challenge for the teacher is to provide…
