McNeil, Sara G.; Robin, Bernard R. – 2000
This paper presents an overview of World Wide Web-enabled databases that dynamically generate Web materials and focuses on the use of this technology to support collaboration, knowledge construction, and communication. Database applications have been used in classrooms to support learning activities for over a decade, but, although business and…

Bick, Markus; Pawlowski, Jan M.; Veith, Patrick – 2001
The importance of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) technology family in the field of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) can not be denied. The Instructional Management Systems Project (IMS), for example, provides a learning resource XML binding specification. Considering this specification and other implementations using XML to represent…

Roth, Wolff-Michael; Lucas, Keith B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1997
Presents a study that analyzes an extensive database consisting of the written and oral discourse of students (N=23) as they described their thoughts on ontology, epistemology, and sociology of scientific knowledge. Contains 51 references. (DDR)
Descriptors: Beliefs, Case Studies, Concept Formation, Discourse Analysis

Geelan, David R. – Science and Education, 1997
Describes six divergent forms of constructivism in providing an overview of constructivist theory. Suggests a scheme for characterizing constructivist writing on the basis of its relative emphasis on personal versus social construction of knowledge, and objectivist versus relativist views of the nature of science. Contains 31 references. (DDR)
Descriptors: Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Structures, Constructivism (Learning), Educational Strategies

Brickhard, Mark H. – Science and Education, 1997
Argues that some forms of constructivism propose an epistemological idealism with a concomitant relativism, while other forms are explicitly opposed to such positions. Explains that all forms of constructivism are often presented as being relativistic. Contains 31 references. (DDR)

Suchting, W. A. – Science and Education, 1997
Examines central parts from the first two papers in this journal by Peter Slezak criticizing the "sociology of scientific knowledge". Considers some of the main philosophical issues raised by sociologists of science. Contains 87 references. (DDR)
Descriptors: Cognitive Psychology, Cognitive Structures, Constructivism (Learning), Elementary Secondary Education

Adamovic, Charles; Hedden, Carol J. – Science Teacher, 1997
Demonstrates how teachers can move their students from the novice into the expert range of problem-solving strategies. Utilizes a problem-solving model that follows how such skills develop. (DDR)

Stacey, Kaye; MacGregor, Mollie – Mathematics Teacher, 1997
Discusses the implications of a research study of more than 2000 students aged 11 to 15 that explored why the students interpret algebra in certain ways. Recommends strategies that can help teachers deal with prior knowledge that students may bring to their study of algebra. (DDR)
Descriptors: Algebra, Concept Formation, Educational Strategies, Foreign Countries

Davidenko, Susana – Mathematics Teacher, 1997
Proposes activities that promote students' awareness of the structure of the information involved in their everyday activities, and builds the concept of function from students' mental representations of phenomena. Recommends the use of spreadsheets to provide external representations of these functions. (DDR)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Software, Concept Formation, Functions (Mathematics)

Alpert, Sherman R. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2003
Describes a computer-based concept mapping tool that provides rich representational capabilities, including dynamic imagery (video, animated images, sound) and multiple levels of abstraction. The tool can automatically translate a concept map into an alternative representation-an outline-that contains all of the knowledge contained in a…

Green, Rebecca – Journal of Documentation, 1995
Presents criteria for an effective syntagmatic relator system and describes how conceptual syntagmatic relationships are expressed in natural language, commenting on the adequacy of such expressions for document retrieval systems. Only one type of expression, a gestalt structure, represented as a frame, conforms to the criteria. (Author/JKP)
