Hauptman, Hanoch – Computers & Education, 2010
Developing a software environment to enhance 3D geometric proficiency demands the consideration of theoretical views of the learning process. Simultaneously, this effort requires taking into account the range of tools that technology offers, as well as their limitations. In this paper, we report on the design of Virtual Spaces 1.0 software, a…

Nicaud, Jean-Francois; Bouhineau, Denis; Chaachoua, Hamid – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
We present the design principles for a new kind of computer system that helps students learn algebra. The fundamental idea is to have a system based on the microworld paradigm that allows students to make their own calculations, as they do with paper and pencil, without being obliged to use commands, and to verify the correctness of these…

Lazarowitz, Reuven; Huppert, Jehuda – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Describes a study of high school students that investigated the impact of computer-assisted learning (CAL) integrated with classroom-laboratory instruction versus classroom-laboratory work alone on students' achievement and mastery of science process skills in a microbiology course. Posttest scores are compared and the curriculum integration of…
