Fink, Maximilian C.; Radkowitsch, Anika; Bauer, Elisabeth; Sailer, Michael; Kiesewetter, Jan; Schmidmaier, Ralf; Siebeck, Matthias; Fischer, Frank; Fischer, Martin R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Collaborations between researchers and practitioners have recently become increasingly popular in education, and educational design research (EDR) may benefit greatly from investigating such partnerships. One important domain in which EDR on collaborations between researchers and practitioners can be applied is research on simulation-based…

Vasconcelos, Lucas; Kim, ChanMin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Learning standards for K-12 science education emphasize the importance of engaging students in practices that scientists perform in their profession. K-12 teachers are expected to engage students in scientific modeling, which entails constructing, testing, evaluating, and revising their own models of science phenomena while pursuing an epistemic…

Baylor, Amy L. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
While the addition of an anthropomorphic interface agent to a learning system generally has little direct impact on learning, it potentially has a huge impact on learner motivation. As such agents become increasingly ubiquitous on the Internet, in virtual worlds, and as interfaces for learning and gaming systems, it is important to design them to…

McCrary, Nancye E.; Mazur, Joan M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
Experienced teachers, tasked with mentoring, often find themselves inundated with large amounts of didactic information as they prepare for guiding new interns. In an effort to develop training that would both prepare new mentors and revitalize experienced mentors, a state Educational Professional Standards Board enlisted the help of instructional…

Jonassen, David H.; Ionas, Ioan Gelu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
Causal reasoning represents one of the most basic and important cognitive processes that underpin all higher-order activities, such as conceptual understanding and problem solving. Hume called causality the "cement of the universe" [Hume (1739/2000). Causal reasoning is required for making predictions, drawing implications and…

Rieber, Lloyd P. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1996
Provides a brief overview of the history, research, and theory related to play. Research from education, psychology, and anthropology suggests that play is a powerful mediator for lifelong learning, and the design of hybrid learning environments is suggested based on the constructivist concept of microworlds and supported with games and…

Orrill, Chandra Hawley – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2001
This study examined issues in supporting middle school teachers to become more learner centered when implementing computer-based, workplace simulations in their classrooms. Focuses on a participant observation study of two teachers to develop and evolve a framework for professional development that included reflective skills and proximal goals.…

Windschitl, Mark – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2000
This theory-based article describes how data analysis tools, simulations, and modeling software, when used in the proper instructional contexts, provide young learners with rich intellectual environments for inquiry in science learning. Highlights include inquiry learning; abilities of learners; and the integration of technology within classroom…
