Akpan, Joseph; Strayer, Jeremy – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2010
Science educators and school administrators are reexamining the educational value of animal dissection in the nation's schools and are focusing on simulation as an instructional alternative. One implication of the debate is that simulations can lead to equivalent learning to hands-on dissection. The second implication is whether dissection is…

Ralph, Charles L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Examined is the use of the microcomputer as a tutor, for simulations of experiments, and to provide graphic interpretations of abstract concepts in the college biology setting. Discussed are computer enhanced courses being used, the software library, and the computer laboratory facility. Lists reasons for adoption of computer enhanced format. (MVL)
