Bouzeghoub, Amel; Defude, Bruno; Duitama, John Freddy; Lecocq, Claire – International Journal on E-Learning, 2006
Our claim is that semantic metadata are required to allow a real reusing and assembling of learning objects. Our system is based on three models used to describe the domain, learners, and learning objects. The learning object model is inspired from knowledge representation proposals. A learning object can be reused directly or can be combined with…

Wild, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1996
Examines the place of mental models in the process of knowledge construction, particularly by the relationship between mental models and computer models in that process. Analyzes and discusses children's use of spreadsheets to build their own computer models. Suggests that the process of building models on a computer may provide direct support to…

Kangassalo, Marjatta. – Journal of Computing in Childhood Education, 1994
Examines children's understanding of the variation of sunlight and heat of the sun as experienced on the earth related to the positions of the earth and the sun in space, while using a pictorial computer simulation of the phenomenon. Suggests that, through the exploration of the program, children seemed to follow a correctly directed conceptual…

Kuo, Rita; Lien, Wei-Peng; Chang, Maiga; Heh, Jia-Sheng – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
This paper proposes a methodology to calculate both the difficulty of the basic problems and the difficulty of solving a problem. The method to calculate the difficulty of problem is according to the process of constructing a problem, including Concept Selection, Unknown Designation, and Proposition Construction. Some necessary measures observed…

Savelsbergh, Elwin R.; Ferguson-Hessler, Monica G. M.; de Jong, Ton – 1997
This study of physics problem-solving identifies reasoning mechanisms that enable the problem-solver to achieve the transformation to a physics structure of the problem situation. Elaboration is explored as a mechanism in fulfilling this transformation by providing beginning problem-solvers with elaborations that they failed to infer. A card…
