Akpan, Joseph; Strayer, Jeremy – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2010
Science educators and school administrators are reexamining the educational value of animal dissection in the nation's schools and are focusing on simulation as an instructional alternative. One implication of the debate is that simulations can lead to equivalent learning to hands-on dissection. The second implication is whether dissection is…
