Liao, Yuen-kuang Cliff – Computers and Education, 2007
A meta-analysis was performed to synthesize existing research comparing the effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) versus traditional instruction (TI) on students' achievement in Taiwan. Fifty-two studies were located from four sources, and their quantitative data was transformed into effect size (ES). The overall grand mean of the…

Barak, Moshe – Computers and Education, 2005
This research explored learning and thinking processes enhanced by integrating computers in secondary schools electronics projects. Electronics studies provide a sophisticated learning environment, where computers are simultaneously part of the subject matter learned (Technology Education), and a means for enhancing teaching and learning…

Ieronutti, Lucio; Chittaro, Luca – Computers and Education, 2007
Web-based education and training provides a new paradigm for imparting knowledge; students can access the learning material anytime by operating remotely from any location. Web3D open standards, such as X3D and VRML, support Web-based delivery of Educational Virtual Environments (EVEs). EVEs have a great potential for learning and training…

Tao, Yu-Hui; Guo, Shin-Ming; Lu, Ya-Hui – Computers and Education, 2006
Simulation output analysis has received little attention comparing to modeling and programming in real-world simulation applications. This is further evidenced by our observation that students and beginners acquire neither adequate details of knowledge nor relevant experience of simulation output analysis in traditional classroom learning. With…

Mooij, Ton – Computers and Education, 2004
Specific combinations of educational and ICT conditions including computer use may optimise learning processes, particularly for learners at risk. This position paper asks which curricular, instructional, and ICT characteristics can be expected to optimise learning processes and outcomes, and how to best achieve this optimization. A theoretical…

Siann, G.; And Others – Computers and Education, 1990
Discussion of gender differences in response to instructional technology highlights a study of attitudinal consequences of a Logo programing exercise among primary school children in Edinburgh, Scotland. Attitudinal measures before and after the computer experience are described, and gender differences in interactions at the computer terminal are…

Lo, Jia-Jiunn; Wanga, Hui-Mei; Yehb, Shiou-Wen – Computers and Education, 2004
Although Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) provides EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students a dynamic environment for English learning, many courses in current markets still emphasize the presentation of domain knowledge but neglect how the students truly interact with the lessons. This article describes the development of…

Nicol, David J.; MacLeod, Iain A. – Computers and Education, 2005
Two different technologies, groupware (a shared workspace) and shared wireless laptop computers, were implemented in a project design class in a civil engineering course. The research interest was in the way these technologies supported resource sharing within and across project groups and in the forms of group collaboration that resulted. The…

Garcia, Francisco Jose; Garcia, Joaquin – Computers and Education, 2005
Within the university the introduction of computers is creating a new criterion of differentiation between those who as a matter of course become integrated in the technocratic trend deriving from the daily use of these machines and those who become isolated by not using them. This difference increases when computer science and communications…
