Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Chiung-Wen; Ho, Li-An; Chueh, Ting-Yu – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Because the microworld can create a learning environment that allows learners to interact with the real world, the view of the microworld has been widely used in education and training. In this study, the simulated transactional interactive concurrent system (STICS) was used to provide an environment that simulates the stock market trading of the…

Designing Interactive Learning Environments.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Akpinar, Y.; Hartley, J. R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1996
Describes the design principles of computer-assisted learning (CAL) environments in which the software is interactive yet adaptable to different styles of learning and teaching, illustrated with a mathematics application. Following implementation, initial evaluation data taken from students showed marked performance improvements, and indicated how…

Conceptual Change in Science.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Driver, Ros; Scanlon, Eileen – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1989
Describes research project being implemented in the United Kingdom that has been developed to examine the process of change in secondary school students' conceptual understandings in the physical sciences. Models of conceptual change are described, the role of computer based activities in promoting conceptual change is discussed, and software…

Tools for Exploratory Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bliss, Joan; Ogborn, Jon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1989
Discusses the nature and function of mental models, explains tools for exploratory and expressive learning, and describes a research program to be conducted in the United Kingdom for 10- to 16-year-olds that is designed to explore characteristics of students' mental models. Highlights include knowledge domains; software, including simulations; and…

On the Road to Jerusalem: A Computer-Assisted Simulation Game for Religious Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Martin, Allan; Smyth, I. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1987
Describes a computer simulation game and database package, "Palestine in the First Century," developed for upper primary and secondary school religious education in Scotland and designed for use on a microcomputer with a printer. The effect of this type of software on the role of teachers and students is considered. (Author/LRW)

The Conceptual Change in Science' Project.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Twigger, Daryll; And Others – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1991
Describes software that was designed in the United Kingdom to promote conceptual change in secondary school students studying mechanics. Direct Manipulation of Mechanical Microworlds, an interactive computer simulation, and VARILAB, a computer-based language for modelling systems, are explained; and two studies that will evaluate the effectiveness…
