Peer reviewedKracjik, Joseph S.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Offers a critique on some of the papers on computers in science teaching that were presented at the 1985 National Association for Research in Science Teaching meeting. Implications for the conduct of research on computers in science learning are also suggested. (JN)

Peer reviewedHale, Michael E. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
The substance of a commentary (SE 539 500) is a criticism of the over-generalizations by authors of computer-assisted instruction papers at the 1985 annual meeting of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching. This reaction attempts to examine the validity of the criticisms made in the commentary. (JN)

Peer reviewedMokros, Janice R.; Tinker, Robert F. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Reports the results of an in-depth examination of middle school children's graphing skills and misconceptions. Also discusses a study in which students learned graphing skills through microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL). (ML)

Peer reviewedWainwright, Camille L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Evaluates the attributes of a microcomputer software package as a supplement to chemistry instruction. Reports higher scores among the students in a control group. Discovers no significant interaction between treatment and development stage. Discusses several implications for further research. Provides the General Chemistry Test and error analysis…

Peer reviewedBrasell, Heather – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Discusses a study which assessed the effect of a brief kinematics unit on: (1) students' ability to translate between a physical event and the graphic representation of it, and; (2) the effect of real-time on graphing skills. Reports the success of the use of a microcomputer-based laboratory with graphing velocity and distance. (ML)

Peer reviewedNachmias, Rafi; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Examines (1) how students evaluate information obtained in the science laboratory; (2) the effects of use of microcomputer-based laboratory; and, (3) the effects of explicit instruction on critical evaluation skills. Discusses results in terms of students' propensity to accept incorrect graphs and in terms of the effect of the enhanced instruction…

Peer reviewedFarynaiarz, Joseph V.; Lockwood, Linda G. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1992
Utilizes a quasiexperimental design to examine the impact of microcomputer simulations on environmental problem solving by community college students. The experimental group of students (n=34) showed a highly significant improvement in problem-solving skills after being exposed to three simulation models that focused on lake pollution analysis,…
