Using interactive simulations to enhance Students’ explanations regarding physical Phenomena
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of Interactive Computer-Based Simulations (ICBSs) on student’s ability to give “scientifically accepted” explanations regarding physical phenomena in Mechanics, ...
Physical meets virtual: blending physical and virtual manipulatives to improve understanding in the domain of light and shadows
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of experimenting with Physical Manipulatives (PM), Virtual Manipulatives (VM), and a blended combination of PM and VM, on undergraduate students’ understanding of scientific ...
Using the attitude-behavior theory of Reasoned action to understand science teachers' attitudes towards physics, computer simulations and inquiry-based experiments
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
The purpose of this paper was to investigate how use of an Interactive Computer-Based Simulation (ICBS) prior to performing a Laboratory Inquiry-Based Experiment (LIBE), in a conceptually oriented physics course, affects ...
The effect of real and virtual laboratory experimentation on students’ understanding of electric circuits
(University of Zilina, 2005)
This study compared the effect of Virtual Laboratory Experimentation (VLE) - use of virtual apparatus and material to conduct an experiment on a computer - and Real Laboratory Experimentation (RLE) - use of real apparatus ...
Symposium proposal computer-based modeling in science: the case of stagecast creator
(University of Zilina, 2005)
There is a longstanding awareness of the need to help students learn about models and modeling in science, and computer-based programming environments are promising tools for this. A computer program can be a model of a ...
Enhancing fifth graders understanding of complex ecosystems through a model-based approach utilizing stagecast creator
(University of Zilina, 2005)
We report a study in which we designed and implemented a curriculum within the context of ecosystems aimed at fostering scientific modelling skills and enhancing conceptual understanding among fifth graders through the use ...
