Magalhães, Alexandre L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A bachelor's degree program in chemistry typically starts with basic concepts in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Those principles are very important because they pave the ground for future advanced studies and, therefore, one needs to present them in a clear but rigorous way. One example is provided by the mathematical notion of an iterative…

Fasoula, S.; Nikitas, P.; Pappa-Louisi, A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
A series of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets were developed to simulate the process of separation optimization under isocratic and simple gradient conditions. The optimization procedure is performed in a stepwise fashion using simple macros for an automatic application of this approach. The proposed optimization approach involves modeling of the peak…

Behrend, Tara S.; Thompson, Lori Foster – International Journal of Training and Development, 2012
Animated agents have the potential to increase engagement and learning during online training by acting as personalized tutors. However, little is known about the conditions that make these agents most effective. In this study, 183 e-learners completed a Microsoft Excel training course. Approximately half were assigned an agent with predetermined…

Lamontagne, Claude; Desjardins, Francois; Benard, Michele – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2007
Managing the pedagogical aspects of the "computational turn" that is occurring within the Humanities in general and the disciplines associated with cognitive science and neuroscience in particular, first implies facing the challenge of introducing students to computation. This paper presents what has proven to be an efficient approach to bringing…

Stephenson, Stanley D. – Performance and Instruction, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduates that was conducted to define what instructors should be doing while a student is engaged in computer-based training (CBT) and to examine the effect of student-instructor interaction in CBT. Results are reported that indicate that increased interaction produces increased achievement. (11 references) (LRW)

Creighton, Walter; Kilcoyne, Margaret – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1997
An analysis of 87 undergraduate questionnaires found that students' perceived increased levels of expertise in 25 skills after taking a self-paced word processing and worksheet/spreadsheet applications course. Examined the relationship between age, gender, race, and grades, and found a positive correlation between grades and perceptions in…

Ralph, Charles L. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Describes a computer applications course developed for undergraduate biology students (primarily sophomores) to teach word processing, database and spreadsheet programs, graphing programs, telecommunications, and file transfer procedures. AppleWorks software is discussed, course content is explained, and the microcomputer laboratory is described.…

Koohang, Alex A. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1989
Describes study of undergraduate students that measured four types of attitudes toward computers: (1) computer anxiety; (2) computer confidence; (3) computer liking; and (4) perception of computer usefulness. Independent variables used in the study include gender; keyboard familiarity; prior computer experience; and knowledge of programing, word…
