The Impact of Learner's Prior Knowledge on Their Use of Chemistry Computer Simulations: A Case Study
Direct linkLiu, 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…
