Reigeluth, Charles M.; Schwartz, Ellen – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1989
Description of computer-based simulations focuses on the instructional functions of simulations and phases in the learning processes that should be activated by educational simulations. Highlights include a general model for simulation design; degree of learner control; complexity of the content; the role of the learner; and motivational…

Shlechter, Theodore M.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1992
Examines the effectiveness of SIMNET (Simulation Networking), a virtual reality training simulation system, combined with a program of role-playing activities for helping Army classes to master the conditional knowledge needed for successful field performance. The value of active forms of learning for promoting higher order cognitive thinking is…

Carlsen, David D.; Andre, Thomas – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduates at Iowa State University that tested the effectiveness of a computer simulation of electric circuits used in combination with a conceptual change approach to science instruction. Erroneous preconceptions of scientific concepts are discussed, and the use of traditional text is compared with conceptual change…

Smith, Stanley G.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1986
Discusses production and evaluation of interactive computer-assisted videodisc laboratory tutorial simulations for use in prelaboratory instruction and as laboratory experiment replacement in an undergraduate chemistry course. Student performance on laboratory reports and tests was significantly better for students who utilized the simulations.…

Rieber, Lloyd P.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1990
Discussion of instructional visuals and practice techniques as effective learning strategies focuses on a study of undergraduates that examined the effects of animated instruction and practice on adult learning in a computer-based science lesson. Analyses of the results indicate that practice affects performance measures more than visual…

Houlihan, Paunpimon A.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1992
Describes a study conducted at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry that compared the effectiveness and efficiency of adaptive instruction with nonadaptive instruction using interactive videodisc patient simulations. The Dental Diagnosis and Treatment (DDx&Tx) System is explained, and problem-solving skills and study time are discussed.…
