de Souza, Renata Torres Mattos P.; Kasseboehmer, Ana Cla´udia – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This paper reports the development of a digital escape room for high school students using Genially, a web-based media platform. The escape room was used to aid understanding of basic concepts in chemistry and mostly enhance students' classes participation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The activity entitled "The thalidomide mystery"…

Llevot-Calvet, Núria, Ed. – IntechOpen, 2018
In a plural, complex, and diverse society, the school faces many challenges. Teachers must prepare their students for future professions, unthinkable nowadays, and the digital competences of teachers and students are one of the axes of an advanced school. This book presents a set of works rigorously elaborated by authors of different disciplines,…

Blake, C.; Scanlon, E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
This paper proposes a reconsideration of use of computer simulations in science education. We discuss three studies of the use of science simulations for undergraduate distance learning students. The first one, "The Driven Pendulum" simulation is a computer-based experiment on the behaviour of a pendulum. The second simulation, "Evolve" is…

Szabo, Michael
Mammo I and Mammo II are two versions of a computer simulation based upon scientific problems surrounding the finds of carcasses of the Wooly Mammoth in Siberia. The simulation program consists of two parts: the data base and program logic. The purpose of the data pieces is to provide data of an informative nature and to enable problem solvers to…

Kolodiy, George Oleh – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Described is a LOGO computer program that enables students to investigate the relationship between a digital number and the resistance in a variable resistor used to generate that number. Likewise, actual temperature readings and the corresponding resistance within a thermistor can be used for data gathering and subsequent analysis. (JJK)

Larkin, Jill H. – 1979
A set of computer implemented models are presented which can assist in developing problem solving strategies. The three levels of expertise which are covered are beginners (those who have completed at least one university physics course), intermediates (university level physics majors in their third year of study), and professionals (university…

Guertin, Arthur; And Others – 1987
This guide explains ways in which the computer can be used in the science classroom and laboratory. Further, it suggests many resources that can be tapped to help teachers initiate and improve their own programs. Chapters include: (1) "The Computer as a Tool for Student Inquiry"; (2) "The Computer as a Tool for Teachers"; (3)…

Licht, Norman – 1984
The purpose of this study was to determine whether an electronic geoboard, a computer-software program, could be used to assess youngsters' ability to discover facts and relationships in an unlabled and ambiguous situation. Subjects--108 children, ages 6 to 12--were enrolled in grades 1 to 6 in Norwood, New York. The electronic geoboard served as…

Reimann, Peter – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2005
Computer-based learning environments for science and mathematics education support predominantly individual learning; from first generation drill and practice programs to today's advanced, knowledge-based tutorial systems, one learner interacting with one computer has been the typical setting. Mathematics educators, however, increasingly…

Phillips, Kenneth L. – 1989
The high percentage of students who have difficulty in solving free-response problems related to the mole concept was addressed by implementation of reading skill strategies and computer assisted instruction. Frayer models, semantic mapping, and graphic organizers from Reading in the Content Area (RICA) were used to increase student understanding…
