Tibell, Lena A. E.; Harms, Ute – Science & Education, 2017
Modern evolutionary theory is both a central theory and an integrative framework of the life sciences. This is reflected in the common references to evolution in modern science education curricula and contexts. In fact, evolution is a core idea that is supposed to support biology learning by facilitating the organization of relevant knowledge. In…

Yarden, Hagit; Yarden, Anat – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
Animation has great potential for improving the way people learn. A number of studies in different scientific disciplines have shown that instruction involving computer animations can facilitate the understanding of processes at the molecular level. However, using animation alone does not ensure learning. Students sometimes miss essential features…

Karlsson, Goran – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
This case study reports on how students, working collaboratively, interpret and construct a written report of the events described in animated educational software. The analysis is based on video recordings of two upper-secondary-school students while they are endeavouring to construe an animated sequence of the mouldering process. How the…

Limniou, M.; Roberts, D.; Papadopoulos, N. – Computers & Education, 2008
By comparing two-dimensional (2D) chemical animations designed for computer's desktop with three-dimensional (3D) chemical animations designed for the full immersive virtual reality environment CAVE[TM] we studied how virtual reality environments could raise student's interest and motivation for learning. By using the 3ds max[TM], we can visualize…

The increasing complexity of human body models enabled by advances in diagnostic imaging, computing, and growing knowledge calls for the development of a new generation of systems for intelligent exploration of these models. Here, we introduce a novel paradigm for the exploration of digital body models illustrating cerebral vasculature. It enables…

Schleich, Jean-Marc; Dillenseger, Jean-Louis; Houyel, Lucile; Almange, Claude; Anderson, Robert H. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009
Learning embryology remains difficult, since it requires understanding of many complex phenomena. The temporal evolution of developmental events has classically been illustrated using cartoons, which create difficulty in linking spatial and temporal aspects, such correlation being the keystone of descriptive embryology. We synthesized the…

Noh, Taehee; Cha, Jeongho; Kim, Changmin – Journal of the Korean Association for Research in Science Education, 1999
Investigates the effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) using molecular-level animation and worksheets upon student achievement, conceptual understanding, and learning motivation. Administers the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Survey (PALS) as a covariate in the study. (Contains 19 references.) (Author/YDS)

Rieber, Lloyd P. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Effects of animated graphics presentations on incidental learning and the degree to which various computer practice activities contain intrinsically motivating characteristics were studied with 70 fourth graders learning about Newton's laws of motion. Incidental learning occurred without sacrifice of intentional learning. Students were highly…

Moore, John W., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Provides a series of short articles about various uses of computers and courseware in teaching chemistry. Addresses topics such as a programming utility for animation, an organic synthesis program, a program for the allocation of organic qualitative analysis of unknowns, color images of molecules, and enhancing spreadsheet capabilities.
