Most of this report is concerned with describing the project and its activities and accomplishments during the first year of its existence. A major goal of the project is to produce units of curricula in which the computer can be used to enhance the teaching or learning of mathematics, the sciences, and other secondary school subjects. Thirty-one…

This study examined the impact of a biology course emphasizing computer simulation on student achievement and student attitudes toward science. The students in the experimental group were placed in a class limited to 16 students to have 2 students to each computer. (YP)

The Systems Thinking and Curriculum Innovation (STACI) Project is a multi-year research effort intended to examine the cognitive demands and consequences of learning from a systems thinking approach to instruction and from using simulation-modeling software. The purpose of the study is to test the potentials and effects of integrating the systems…

An interactive computer-assisted learning program written for the BBC microcomputer to teach the basic principles of genetic engineering is described. Discussed are the hardware requirements software, use of the program, and assessment. (Author/CW)

Summarizes the evaluation of computer software presented in "The Physics Teacher" since 1984. Describes several programs for integrating courseware use into classes including "TimeLog" for a message/bulletin board, Control Data "Physics 1" for problem solving, some demonstration programs, and "Physics Laboratory Programs" for programing skills.…

Computer software packages that are commercially available for physics instruction are compiled in this paper. Information for each program includes: the broad subject category (i.e., mechanics, waves and sound, heat and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics and light, modern physics, mathematical models, or general reference/testing…
