Liew, Tze Wei; Tan, Su-Mae; Seydali, Rouzbeh – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2014
The present study examined the relationship among learners' differences, behaviors in manipulating variables, and learning achievements in a simulation-based program that supports discovery learning in the subject of C-programming algorithm. Participants (n = 66) took the Group Embedded Figures Test, Action Control Scale, and Computer…
