Direct linkBaytak, Ahmet; Land, Susan M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
This study employed a case study design (Yin, "Case study research, design and methods," 2009) to investigate the processes used by 5th graders to design and develop computer games within the context of their environmental science unit, using the theoretical framework of "constructionism." Ten fifth graders designed computer games using "Scratch"…

Peer reviewedLand, Susan M.; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1996
This paper describes a rationale for, and conceptual framework of, learning via open-ended learning environments (OELEs). It highlights development of theories-in-action with OELEs, including the roles of context, system response/feedback, and levels of processing. Discussion also includes examples of theory building via OELEs and implications for…

Peer reviewedLand, Susan M.; Hannafin, Michael J. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1997
A study of four seventh-graders using an open-ended learning environment (OELE) on mechanical physics combining computer-generated graphics, computer simulations, video, and print-based materials indicated that while learners built and formalized scientific theories, in some cases, they assimilated new data into existing theories, ignored…
