Peer reviewedMetz, Kathleen E.; Hammer, David M. – Interactive Learning Environments, 1993
Discusses the term microworld; develops a conceptual framework to analyze the sense in which the world metaphor may or may not hold; and describes a study of high school physics students working individually with the computer microworld "Elmira" that was conducted to analyze how their thinking was worldlike. (Contains 11 references.)…

Peer reviewedSchwarz, Baruch; Dreyfus, Tommy – Interactive Learning Environments, 1993
Describes a study which measured how ninth-grade students integrated information about mathematical concepts when working with Triple Representation Model software. Tables, graphs, and algebraic functions were linked, allowing students to manipulate several representations of the same concept. Examples of mathematical problems and student case…
