Effects of experimenting with physical and virtual manipulatives on students' conceptual understanding in heat and temperature
Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Olympiou, Georgios; Papaevripidou, Marios (2008)This study aimed to investigate the comparative value of experimenting with physical manipulatives (PM) in a sequential combination with virtual manipulatives (VM), with the use of PM preceding the use of VM, and of ...

Making the invisible visible: enhancing students' conceptual understanding by introducing representations of abstract objects in a simulation
Olympiou, Georgios; Zacharia, Zacharias C.; De Jong, Ton (2013)This study aimed to identify if complementing representations of concrete objects with representations of abstract objects improves students' conceptual understanding as they use a simulation to experiment in the domain ...

Physical versus virtual manipulative experimentation in physics learning
Zacharia, Zacharias C.; Olympiou, Georgios (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 ...
