Peer reviewedHorwitz, Paul; Barowy, Bill – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 1994
Describes a project that explores the use of interactive computer software for teaching Einstein's special theory of relativity to secondary students. Also describes ways to use computers to help students visualize and experiment with otherwise inaccessible phenomena. (ZWH)

Peer reviewedStewart, Gay B.; Stewart, John C. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 1997
Extends the modeling system presented in Part I. This model is applied to two widely diverse educational processes: "Student Actions" and "Do Homework Problem." Its computational syntax imposes completeness criteria on the modeling and its uniformity. (AIM)

Peer reviewedStewart, Gay B. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 1997
Presents a system for formally characterizing elements of an introductory science class, measuring class performance based on this characterization, and modeling the value of the class based on the measurements. The main components of this modeling system include educational engineering with a formal set of practices, the use of computational…
