Students' Interaction with Computer Representations: Analysis of Discourse in Laboratory Groups.

Peer reviewed

Kelly, Gregory J.; Crawford, Teresa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1996

Analyzes student discourse in 4 grade-12 lab groups working on microcomputer-based laboratories. Analysis reveals the role the computer plays in the group context and the ways that this context is shaped by the computer. Contains 22 references. (Author/JRH)

Supporting Learning of Variable Control in a Computer-Based Biology Environment: Effects of Prompting College Students To Reflect on Their Own Thinking.

Peer reviewed

Lin, Xiaodong; Lehman, James D. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999

Describes a study of college students who designed and conducted experiments involving control of variables after being assigned to one of four versions of a computer-based biology simulation learning environment. Finds that reason-justification prompts directed students' attention to understanding the employment of experimental design principles…

The Effectiveness of Using Computer Simulated Experiments on Junior High Students' Understanding of the Volume Displacement Concept.

Peer reviewed

Choi, Byung-Soon; Gennaro, Eugene – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987

Reports on a study which compared the effectiveness of microcomputer simulated experiences with that of parallel, hands-on laboratory instruction for teaching the concept of volume displacement to junior high school students. Results indicated that computer simulated experience were as affective as hands-on laboratory experiences. (TW)
