From the experiential learning perspective, this study investigates middle and high school students (n = 1009) who used an online module to learn about wildfire hazards, risks, and impacts through computational simulations of wildfire phenomena. These students were taught by 18 teachers in urban, rural, and suburban schools across the United…

Uz-Bilgin, Cigdem; Thompson, Meredith; Anteneh, Melat – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
This study examines how different roles and background knowledge transform players' dyadic conversations into spatial dialogues in a virtual cellular biology game. Cellverse is a collaborative virtual reality (VR) game designed to teach cell biology. Players work in pairs, assuming the role of either a Navigator, with reference material and a…

Chang, Hsin-Yi; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tsai, Chin-Chung – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
We engaged 47 eighth-grade students in a newly developed learning environment that integrates mobile augmented reality (AR) technology to support students' learning of nuclear energy use and radiation pollution, a topic related to a socioscientific issue (SSI) that involves complex reasoning considering scientific evidence and multiple…

Tutwiler, M. Shane; Lin, Ming-Chao; Chang, Chun-Yen – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
In this study, a follow-up analysis of the data reported in Lin et al. ("Learn Media Technol." doi: 10.1080/17439884.2011.629660 , 2011), we investigated the relationship between student use of a virtual field trip (VFT) system and the probability of students reporting wanting to visit the national park site upon which the VFT was modeled,…

Meier, Debra K.; Reinhard, Karl J.; Carter, David O.; Brooks, David W. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
Worked examples have been effective in enhancing learning outcomes, especially with novice learners. Most of this research has been conducted in laboratory settings. This study examined the impact of embedding elaborated worked example modeling in a computer simulation practice activity on learning achievement among 39 undergraduate students…

The Impact of Learner's Prior Knowledge on Their Use of Chemistry Computer Simulations: A Case Study
Liu, Han-Chin; Andre, Thomas; Greenbowe, Thomas – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
It is complicated to design a computer simulation that adapts to students with different characteristics. This study documented cases that show how college students' prior chemistry knowledge level affected their interaction with peers and their approach to solving problems with the use of computer simulations that were designed to learn…
