Peer reviewedde Jong, Ton; Martin, Ernesto; Zamarro, Jose-Miguel; Esquembre, Francisco; Swaak, Janine; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1999
Discusses a case study on discovery learning with a computer simulation environment in the physics domain of collisions. Finds that providing assignments with the simulation improves students' performance on one aspect of an intuitive-knowledge test. Contains 43 references. (Author/WRM)

In this study, learners worked with a simulation of harmonic oscillation. Two supportive measures were introduced: model progression and assignments. In model progression, the model underlying the simulation is not offered in its full complexity from the start, but variables are gradually introduced. Assignments are small exercises that help the…
