Holzinger, Andreas; Kickmeier-Rust, Michael D.; Wassertheurer, Sigi; Hessinger, Michael – Computers & Education, 2009
Objective: Since simulations are often accepted uncritically, with excessive emphasis being placed on technological sophistication at the expense of underlying psychological and educational theories, we evaluated the learning performance of simulation software, in order to gain insight into the proper use of simulations for application in medical…

Kolfschoten, Gwendolyn; Lukosch, Stephan; Verbraeck, Alexander; Valentin, Edwin; de Vreede, Gert-Jan – Computers & Education, 2010
Nowadays we need to teach students how to become flexible problem solvers in a dynamic world. The pace in which technology changes and complexity increases requires increased efficiency in learning and understanding. This requires the engineers of tomorrow to quickly gain knowledge and insight outside their prime area of expertise. To transfer…

Korakakis, G.; Pavlatou, E. A.; Palyvos, J. A.; Spyrellis, N. – Computers & Education, 2009
This research aims to determine whether the use of specific types of visualization (3D illustration, 3D animation, and interactive 3D animation) combined with narration and text, contributes to the learning process of 13- and 14- years-old students in science courses. The study was carried out with 212 8th grade students in Greece. This…

Bottino, R. M.; Ferlino, L.; Ott, M.; Tavella, M. – Computers & Education, 2007
The paper reports a small-scale, long-term pilot project designed to foster strategic and reasoning abilities in young primary school pupils by engaging them in a number of computer games, mainly those usually called mind games (brainteasers, puzzlers, etc.). In this paper, the objectives, work methodology, experimental setting, and tools used in…
