Ronald L. Reyes; Kristina P. Isleta; Jennifer D. Regala; Daisy Mae R. Bialba – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: The adoption of virtual laboratories (VLs) has experienced a significant surge, catalysed by the global changes in the educational landscape, notably influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally supplementary to traditional in-person laboratory experiments, VLs swiftly transitioned into a primary source of hands-on laboratory…

Hirshfield, Laura J.; Koretsky, Milo D. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
In engineering design, engineers must be able to think creatively, effectively toggling between divergent thinking (developing multiple novel ideas) and convergent thinking (pursuing an appropriate idea using engineering analyses). However, creative thinking is not emphasized in many undergraduate engineering programs. In this empirical study, we…

Fund, Z. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
This study examined the effect of scaffolding learning components in a computerized environment, for students solving qualitative science problems in a simulation of laboratory experiments. Four scaffolding components were identified (structural, reflective, subject-matter and enrichment) and used in different configurations to construct four…
