Using Computer Simulations to Assess Hands-On Science Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baxter, Gail P. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 1995
Two methods of assessing student learning of a hands-on instructional unit are compared. One method involves manipulation of concrete materials, and the other method involves manipulation of icons on a computer to solve an electric circuits problem. Sixth-grade students in an inquiry-based science program completed both assignments. (LZ)
