Hybrid systems modeling in learning science and technology.
December 22, 2002... The system approach in science and technology education is concerned mainly with continuous systems, whose behavior is described by differential and difference equations. However, in the digital era, the use of discrete systems becomes more and...

Use of web-based multimedia technology in teaching and learning mathematical programming.
December 22, 2002... The web-based interactive multimedia system presented in this article is based on a generic approach developed by the author for formulating and solving Dynamic Programming problems. The approach has proven to be an easy to learn and easy to...

Gender and computer-mediated communication: an exploration of elementary students' mathematics and science learning.
December 22, 2002... Although computer-mediated communication (CMC)--its technology, its contents, and usage patterns--is still in the process of rapid change, the use of CMC such as the Internet as a teaching-learning tool is increasing dramatically. However, very...

The place for the computer is in the laboratory: an investigation of the effect of computer probeware on student learning.
December 22, 2002... Computer data collection technology is commonplace in commercial and research laboratories, and this technology is becoming increasingly available in the secondary classroom. While a number of studies have been conducted comparing computer...

Constructing analysis of variance (ANOVA).
December 22, 2002... Spreadsheets can be a valuable tool for helping students construct a deeper understanding of statistical concepts. This investigation incorporated active-learning into the structure of an intermediate-level statistics course for doctoral...
