Direct linkKester, Liesbeth; Kirschner, Paul; van Merrienboer, Jeroen – International Journal of Science Education, 2004
While learning a complex skill in science using a computer-based simulation, optimal timing of information presentation facilitates learning and enhances test performance. An optimal information presentation format is proposed: supportive information is presented before practising a skill, and procedural information is presented during practice.…

Peer reviewedSoderberg, Patti; Price, Frank – International Journal of Science Education, 2003
Examines a lesson in which students are engaged in inquiry in evolutionary biology to develop better understanding of concepts and reasoning skills necessary to support knowledge claims about changes in the genetic structure of populations known as microevolution. Explains how a software simulation, EVOLVE, can be used to foster discussions about…
