Jen, Tessaly; Morales, Christina; Greenwald, Eric; Montgomery, Ryan; Loper, Suzanna; Barber, Jacqueline – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
The United States' Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) elevate engineering design to the same stature as scientific inquiry, calling on science teachers to engage students in engineering practices to solve real-world problems. In response, researchers and curriculum developers designed and studied Virtual Engineering Internships (VEIs) to…

The Influence of Scaffolded Computerised Science Problem Solving on Motivational Aspects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fund, Zvia; Madjar, Nir – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
The current study focused on scaffolding programmes, including cognitive and meta-cognitive components, for science problem solving in a computerised learning environment to identify their unique effects on aspects of student motivation. Using expectancy-value theory as a conceptual framework, the current study focused on two motivational aspects:…

Use of a Computer Simulation To Develop Mental Simulations for Understanding Relative Motion Concepts.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Monaghan, James M.; Clement, John – International Journal of Science Education, 1999
Presents evidence for students' qualitative and quantitative difficulties with apparently simple one-dimensional relative-motion problems, students' spontaneous visualization of relative-motion problems, the visualizations facilitating solution of these problems, and students' memories of the online computer simulation used as a framework for…

Computer Simulations in the High School: Students' Cognitive Stages, Science Process Skills and Academic Achievement in Microbiology.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Huppert, J.; Lomask, S. Michal; Lazarowitz, R. – International Journal of Science Education, 2002
Investigates the impact of computer simulation on students' academic achievement and their mastery of science process skills with regard to their cognitive stages. Based on the computer simulation program "The Growth Curve of Microorganisms" which requires 10th grade biology students to use problem solving skills while simultaneously…
