Peer reviewedSteed, Marlo – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
This document describes the construction/simulation software called Stella which can be used in the investigation of dynamic causal models. Topics considered are its built-in perspective of system dynamics and capabilities, its potential drawbacks, and its cognitive implications for educational applications. (JJK)

Peer reviewedLawson, Anton E.; Clark, Brian; Cramer-Meldrum, Erin; Falconer, Kathleen A.; Sequist, Jeffrey M.; Kwon, Yong-Ju – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000
Tests the hypothesis that two general developmentally-based levels of hypothesis-testing skills exist. Finds a positive relationship between level of hypothesis-testing skill and performance on a transfer problem involving the test of a hypothesis based on unobservable entities. Also finds a positive relationship between level of…
