Correia, Ana-Paula; Koehler, Natalya; Thompson, Ann; Phye, Gary – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: A multimedia software designed as a Computer-Assisted Scaffolding system was used to teach gas behavior on the submicroscopic level using Physics Education Technology Project (PhET) simulation. PhET is a set of interactive, research-based science and mathematics online simulations (https://phet. colorado.edu/). Purpose: The purpose was…

Liu, T.-C.; Lin, Y.-C.; Kinshuk – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
Simulation-based computer assisted learning (CAL) is recommended to help students understand important statistical concepts, although the current systems are still far from ideal. Simulation-Assisted Learning Statistics (SALS) is a simulation-based CAL that is developed with a learning model that is based on cognitive conflict theory to correct…

Trey, L.; Khan, S. – Computers & Education, 2008
A novel instructional computer simulation that incorporates a dynamic analogy to represent Le Chatelier's Principle was designed to investigate the contribution of this feature to students' understanding. Two groups of 12th grade Chemistry students (n=15) interacted with the computer simulation during the study. Both groups did the same…

Bebensee, Larry; Evans, Mark – History and Social Science Teacher, 1990
Describes a project in which students from 11 countries took part in an Arab-Israeli Conflict simulation-- an interactive communication simulation that immersed students in the complex dynamics of international reality. The project is a pilot program from the Region of Peel School Board, Ontario. Example of simulation is appended. (SLM)

Denver Univ., CO. Denver Research Inst. – 1988
This federally-funded project developed computer-based simulations in the area of job-related social skills for youth, ages 16-21, who are handicapped and are in transition between school and work (i.e., high school juniors and seniors). This population included students with learning disabilities, mild retardation, and emotional disturbances. The…
