Student Knowledge and Learning Skill Modeling in the Learning Environment 'Forces'.

Peer reviewed

Andaloro, G.; Bellomonte, L. – Computers & Education, 1998

Presents a student module modeling knowledge states and learning skills of students in the field of Newtonian dynamics. Uses data recorded during the exploratory activity in microworlds to infer mental representations concerning the concept of force. A fuzzy algorithm able to follow the cognitive states the student goes through in solving a task…

Integrating Algorithm Animation into a Learning Environment.

Peer reviewed

Kann, Charles; Lindeman, Robert W.; Heller, Rachelle – Computers & Education, 1997

In the past, algorithm animation has yielded mixed results as a teaching tool in computer science. This article presents a study in which undergraduates at George Washington University (DC) viewed algorithm animations and then programmed the same algorithms. Results suggest that combing the two is an effective way to use animation and to produce…
