A Validity and Reliability Study of a Computer Simulation Designed to Test for Control of Variables.
Borst, Richard Alan – 1986
The problem of this study was to develop, validate, and establish the reliability of a computer simulation which would: (1) distinguish between concrete and formal thinking patterns related to control of variables; (2) be easily administered to a class of secondary school age subjects; (3) preserve the interactive aspects of the Piagetian task;…

Helm, Gladys R. – Illinois Teacher of Home Economics, 1987
The author describes a course at Lincoln (Nebraska) Southeast High School designed to help students master thinking and decision-making skills. The course features cooperative learning and questioning strategies; it has three major strengths: (1) developing thinking and deciding skills, (2) using simulations, and (3) using older persons as role…

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…

Lengel, James G. – Social Studies, 1987
Describes some ways computers can help students develop thinking skills in the social studies. Emphasizes the use of data bases, simulations, and tutorials to teach thinking skills. Questions whether computers can do a better job of teaching students to think and reason than alternative methods. (RKM)

Merrill, M. David – Educational Technology, 2001
This instructional design looks at momentum in physics through railroading, to assist students in developing appropriate mental models that will enable them to solve problems relevant to the process or principle being taught. A PEAnet (process, entity, activity network) relationship enables an instructional visualization (simulation) in which…

Huppert, Jehuda; Lazarovitz, Reuven – 1986
This three-part paper describes the development of a software program called "The Growth Curve of Microorganisms" for a tenth-grade biology class. Designed to improve students' cognitive skills, the program enables them to investigate, through computer simulations, the impact upon the growth curve of a population of three variables: temperature,…
