Repenning, Alexander; Ioannidou, Andri; Luhn, Lisa; Daetwyler, Christof; Repenning, Nadia – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2010
Growing science apathy at the K-12 education level represents an alarming development with potentially devastating consequences at individual, societal and economic levels. Technology has been incorporated in science education without fundamentally improving test scores or student attitudes. We claim the core of the problem is how technology is…

Hickey, Daniel T.; Zuiker, Steven J. – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2012
Evaluating the impact of instructional innovations and coordinating instruction, assessment, and testing present complex tensions. Many evaluation and coordination efforts aim to address these tensions by using the coherence provided by modern cognitive science perspectives on domain-specific learning. This paper introduces an alternative…
