Nacu, Denise C.; Martin, Caitlin K.; Pinkard, Nichole; Gray, Tené – Learning, Media and Technology, 2016
While the potential benefits of participating in online learning communities are documented, so too are inequities in terms of how different populations access and use them. We present the online learning support roles (OLSR) framework, an approach using both automated analytics and qualitative interpretation to identify and explore online…

Ryoo, Kihyun; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
Dynamic visualizations have the potential to make abstract scientific phenomena more accessible and visible to students, but they can also be confusing and difficult to comprehend. This research investigates how dynamic visualizations, compared to static illustrations, can support middle school students in developing an integrated understanding of…

Surya, Edy; Sabandar, Jozua; Kusumah, Yaya S.; Darhim – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2013
The students' difficulty which was found is in the problem of understanding, drawing diagrams, reading the charts correctly, conceptual formal mathematical understanding, and mathematical problem solving. The appropriate problem representation is the basic way in order to understand the problem itself and make a plan to solve it. This research was…

Homer, Bruce D.; Plass, Jan L. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
The influence of prior knowledge and cognitive development on the effectiveness of iconic representations in science visualizations was examined. Middle and high school students (N = 186) were given narrated visualizations of two chemistry topics: Kinetic Molecular Theory (Day 1) and Ideal Gas Laws (Day 2). For half of the visualizations, iconic…

Lee, Hee-Sun; Linn, Marcia C.; Varma, Keisha; Liu, Ou Lydia – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
We investigated how student understanding of complex science topics was impacted when 27 teachers switched from typical to inquiry instruction in a delayed cohort comparison design study. For the same set of science topics, the teachers used typical methods of instruction in the first year and online, visualization rich inquiry units in the second…
