Interactive Learning Environment Supporting Visualization in the Teaching of Probability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lukác, Stanislav; Gavala, Tadeáš – ICTE Journal, 2019
The probability is exceptional in the teaching of mathematics because students often have difficulties to understand the basic terms and the problem solving strategies. Understanding lacks of the probability concept and various types of misconceptions arise from the misleading intuition and misinterpretations of experience with the stochastic…

Kelly, Resa M.; Akaygun, Sevil – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
This article summarizes an investigation into how Flash-based cartoon video tutorials featuring molecular visualizations affect students' mental models of acetic acid and hydrochloric acid solutions and how the acids respond when tested for electrical conductance. Variation theory served as the theoretical framework for examining how students…

Kelly, Resa M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Molecular visualizations have been widely endorsed by many chemical educators as an efficient way to convey the dynamic and atomic-level details of chemistry events. Research indicates that students who use molecular visualizations are able to incorporate most of the intended features of the animations into their explanations. However, studies…

A Study of the Development of Students' Visualizations of Program State during an Elementary Object-Oriented Programming Course
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sajaniemi, Jorma; Kuittinen, Marja; Tikansalo, Taina – Journal on Educational Resources in Computing, 2008
Students' understanding of object-oriented (OO) program execution was studied by asking students to draw a picture of a program state at a specific moment. Students were given minimal instructions on what to include in their drawings in order to see what they considered to be central concepts and relationships in program execution. Three drawing…

Visualisation and Animation in a CAL Package: Anchors or Misconceptions?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lim, C. P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2001
Discussion of visualization and animation in computer-assisted learning packages focuses on a case study of secondary students in England in an economics course. Highlights include visualization and animation as conceptual anchors; as sources of misconceptions; and the role of instructional activities. (LRW)
