Elijah St. Germain – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Many approaches to teaching Newman projections and conformational manipulation rely on lecturing using only two-dimensional representations. While molecular models are recognized as useful learning tools, students are often left to figure out how to use them during the initial learning process. The availability of basic online molecular models…

Dhanush S. Bejjarapu; Yize Chen; Jiyan Xu; Eric Shaffer; Nishant Garg – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Recent advancements in computer graphics and hardware have driven the resurgence of virtual reality (VR). Past literature has reported the use of VR in education, especially for teaching spatially complex concepts. However, there are limited data available on the precise role of VR game design elements. In this study, we introduce a new VR game,…

Yim, Kok Lai – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2019
Purpose: This study reports on the effectiveness of using animated computer graphics to teach submicroscopic level science to secondary school (Form One) students. Method: A total of fifty-three secondary school (Form One) students of average spatial ability were selected to participate in this study. Three topics involving concepts at the…

Šafranko, Silvija; Živkovic, Pavo; Stankovic, Anamarija; Medvidovic-Kosanovic, Martina; Széchenyi, Aleksandar; Jokic, Stela – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This work combines laboratory quantitative analysis of colored solutions and common devices for digital imaging (digital or web cameras or mobile phones, i.e., smartphones). ColorX software, specially designed for this study, was used for data collection and analysis in order to calculate concentrations of colored solutions from measured RGB…

Heijnes, Dewi; van Joolingen, Wouter; Leenaars, Frank – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
We investigate the way students' reasoning about evolution can be supported by drawing-based modeling. We modified the drawing-based modeling tool SimSketch to allow for modeling evolutionary processes. In three iterations of development and testing, students in lower secondary education worked on creating an evolutionary model. After each…

Meyer, Scott C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
An upper-division undergraduate laboratory experiment is described that explores the structure/function relationship of protein domains, namely leucine zippers, through a molecular graphics computer program and physical models fabricated by 3D printing. By generating solvent accessible surfaces and color-coding hydrophobic, basic, and acidic amino…

Louca, Loucas T.; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Michael, Michalis; Constantinou, Constantinos P. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for analyzing and evaluating student-constructed models of physical phenomena and monitoring the progress of these models. Moreover, we aimed to examine whether this framework could capture differences between models created using different computer-based modeling tools; namely, computer-based…

Stroud, Michael J.; Schwartz, Neil H. – Journal of Educational Research, 2010
The present investigation was designed to determine if the learning benefits of metaphors and graphics could be combined into one instructional device--a metaphorical graphic--to aid in the acquisition of difficult concepts of chemistry. The authors further sought to determine if metaphorical graphics could foster greater retention of the basic…

Schwarz, Baruch B.; Schur, Yaron; Pensso, Haim; Tayer, Naama – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
Changing practices in schools is a very complex endeavor. This paper is about new practices we prompted to foster collaboration and critical reasoning in science classrooms: the presentation of pictures representing different perspectives, small group synchronous argumentation, and moderation of synchronous argumentation. A CSCL tool helped in…

Dahmani, Hassen-Reda; Schneeberger, Patricia; Kramer, IJsbrand M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2009
The number of experimentally derived structures of cellular components is rapidly expanding, and this phenomenon is accompanied by the development of a new semiotic system for teaching. The infographic approach is shifting from a schematic toward a more realistic representation of cellular components. By realistic we mean artist-prepared or…

Lin, Huan-Yu; Tseng, Shian-Shyong; Weng, Jui-Feng; Su, Jun-Ming – Educational Technology & Society, 2009
With the development of e-learning technology, many specifications of instructional design have been proposed to make learning activity sharable and reusable. With the specifications and sufficient learning resources, the researches further focus on how to provide learners more appropriate learning activities to improve their learning performance.…

Prayaga, Chandra – Physics Education, 2008
A simple interface between VPython and Microsoft (MS) Office products such as Word and Excel, controlled by Visual Basic for Applications, is described. The interface allows the preparation of content-rich, interactive learning environments by taking advantage of the three-dimensional (3D) visualization capabilities of VPython and the GUI…

Linn, Marcia C.; And Others – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1987
Eighth grade physical science students studied graphing with a microcomputer as the lab partner in a microcomputer based laboratory. Graph templates were used to solve problems based on previous learning. It was concluded that the Computer as Lab Partner curriculum was effective in teaching graphing concepts. (GDC)
