Reducing abstraction when learning computability theory.
June 22, 2003... Computer science education is a relatively young discipline. As a young discipline, it is still in need of its own particular research framework (Clancy, Stasko, Guzdial, Fincher, & Dale, 2001). A very close research field is the discipline of...

The effect of instruction with computer simulation as a research tool on open-ended problem-solving in a Spanish classroom of 16-year-olds.
June 22, 2003... The influence of open-ended problem solving by high school physics students as a classroom research activity assisted by computer simulation is investigated in this article. Specifically, the study is focused on changes in the understanding of...

Providing weather satellite images to a classroom using the World Wide Web (WWW).
June 22, 2003... To interest students in the science of weather and technology of weather data processing, a web-based system for making satellite images available in a classroom was designed. This system automatically processes and stores constantly updated...

Using computers to create constructivist learning environments: impact on pedagogy and achievement.
June 22, 2003... To what extent can computers be used to help teachers create a constructivist learning environment in the science classroom? In this study, data from 23 high school physics classes and 13 teachers were examined to determine the extent to which...

Integrating internet-based mathematical manipulatives within a learning environment.
June 22, 2003... The use of manipulatives within a mathematical classroom environment has traditionally been offered through the use of manufactured or teacher-created concrete objects. Manufactured manipulatives are ones such as Cuisenaire rods, color tiles,...
