Seyhan Eryilmaz Toksoy; Emine Bulut – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
In this research, it was aimed to determine the effect of Simulation-Supported Prediction Observation Explanation (SSPOE) activities related to solid and liquid pressure on the conceptions of learning physics of 10th grade students. In the research, a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group, which is one of the quantitative…

Yerrick, Randy; Lund, Carl; Lee, Yonghee – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2013
In this manuscript, we report the impact of students' usage of a simulator in the preparation of chemical engineers. This case study was conducted using content pretest and posttests, survey questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and an analysis of students' written response to design problems. Results showed the use of simulator was…

Smetana, Lara K.; Bell, Randy L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2014
Studies considering whole-class use of computer simulations are limited, despite the increasing interest in this mode of use. The current study explored how a collection of computer simulations was integrated into both whole-class and small-group instructional settings during a high school chemistry unit on atomic structure. Participants included…

Lin, Li-Fen; Hsu, Ying-Shao; Yeh, Yi-Fen – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
Several researchers have investigated the effects of computer simulations on students' learning. However, few have focused on how simulations with authentic contexts influences students' inquiry skills. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, we developed a computer simulation (FossilSim) embedded in an authentic inquiry lesson. FossilSim…

Zucker, Andrew A.; Hug, Sarah T. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
1:1 laptop programs, in which every student is provided with a personal computer to use during the school year, permit increased and routine use of powerful, user-friendly computer-based tools. Growing numbers of 1:1 programs are reshaping the roles of teachers and learners in science classrooms. At the Denver School of Science and Technology, a…
