Hung, Jeng-Fung; Tsai, Chun-Yen – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Previous studies on the effectiveness of virtual laboratories for learning have shown inconsistent results over the past decade. The purpose of this research was to explore the effects of a virtual laboratory and meta-cognitive scaffolding on students' data modeling competences. A quasi-experimental design was used. Three classes of eighth graders…

Schnell, Susanne – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This paper contributes to the discourse in stochastic education of how young students deal with learning settings that allow a data-based approach to probability. By using the micro-structure of arguments by Toulmin (1958), it explores which arguments students use and which role they play in the learning process. The data stems from design…

Metcalf, Shari J.; Kamarainen, Amy M.; Grotzer, Tina; Dede, Chris – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2013
Recent research with Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) in education has shown that these platforms can be effective and engaging for students; however, educators and administrators have practical concerns about the adoption of MUVE-based curricula. This study looks at implementations of EcoMUVE, a MUVE-based curriculum designed to support…

Gobert, Janice Darlene; Sao Pedro, Michael A.; Baker, Ryan S. – Grantee Submission, 2012
In this paper we explored whether engaging in two inquiry skills associated with data collection, designing controlled experiments and testing stated hypotheses, within microworlds for one physical science domain (density) impacted the acquisition of inquiry skills in another domain (phase change). To do so, we leveraged educational data mining…
