Direct linkMagana, Alejandra J.; Hwang, Jisoo; Feng, Shi; Rebello, Sanjay; Zu, Tianlong; Kao, Dominic – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous work has identified that the benefits of learning with videogames and learning from simulations. However, recent meta-analytic work has also identified that little research directly compares learning with videogames and learning with simulations. Objectives: This study examines two learning technologies and their corresponding…

Taramopoulos, A.; Psillos, D. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
The present study investigates the impact of utilizing virtual laboratory environments combining dynamically linked concrete and abstract representations in investigative activities on the ability of students to comprehend simple and complex phenomena in the field of electric circuits. Forty-two 16- to 17-year-old high school students participated…

Jaakkola, T.; Nurmi, S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
Computer simulations and laboratory activities have been traditionally treated as substitute or competing methods in science teaching. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate if it would be more beneficial to combine simulation and laboratory activities than to use them separately in teaching the concepts of simple electricity. Based…
