Peer Assessment among Secondary School Students: Introducing a Peer Feedback Tool in the Context of a Computer Supported Inquiry Learning Environment in Science
(Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012)
In this study we introduced a peer feedback tool to secondary school students while aiming at investigating whether this tool leads to a feedback dialogue when using a computer supported inquiry learning environment in ...
The use of computer-based programming environments as computer modelling tools in early science education: The cases of textual and graphical program languages
(2008)
This is an interpretive case study seeking to develop detailed and comparative descriptions of how two groups of fifth-grade students used two different Computer-based Programming Environments (CPEs) (namely Microworlds ...
The Impact of Interactive Computer Simulations on the Nature and Quality of Postgraduate Science Teachers' Explanations in Physics
(International Journal of Science Education, 2005)
This study investigated how individuals' construction of explanations--a way of ascertaining how well an individual understands a concept--develops from an interactive simulation. Specifically, the purpose was to investigate ...
Examining Learning Through Modeling in K-6 Science Education
(2015)
Despite the abundance of research in Modeling-based Learning (MbL) in science education, to date there is only limited research on MbL practices among K-6 novice modelers. More specifically, there is no information on how ...
The effects of an interactive computer-based simulation prior to performing a laboratory inquiry-based experiment on students' conceptual understanding of physics
(2003)
We investigate the effects of interactive computer-based simulations which are presented prior to inquiry-based laboratory experiments on students’ conceptual understanding of mechanics, waves/optics, and thermal physics. ...
Phases of inquiry-based learning: Definitions and the inquiry cycle
(2015)
Inquiry-based learning is gaining popularity in science curricula, international research and development projects as well as teaching. One of the underlying reasons is that its success can be significantly improved due ...
Examining whether touch sensory feedback is necessary for science learning through experimentation: A literature review of two different lines of research across K-16
(2015)
The focus of this paper is on the contribution that active touch sensory feedback offered through physical or virtual (with haptic feedback) manipulatives, makes to students' learning through science experimentation. Both ...
Physical versus virtual manipulative experimentation in physics learning
(2011)
The aim of this study was to investigate whether physical or virtual manipulative experimentation can differentiate physics learning. There were four experimental conditions, namely Physical Manipulative Experimentation ...
The effect of two different cooperative approaches on students' learning and practices within the context of a WebQuest science investigation
(2011)
The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of two different cooperative learning approaches, namely, the Jigsaw Cooperative Approach (JCA) and the Traditional Cooperative Approach (TCA), on students’ learning and ...
Investigating secondary school students' unmediated peer assessment skills
(2011)
The purpose of this study was to investigate secondary school students' unmediated peer assessment skills. Specifically, 36 seventh graders, without receiving any kind of support, were anonymously assigned to reciprocally ...
