Case Studies of Microcomputer and Interactive Video Simulations in Middle School Earth Science Teaching.

Jackson, David F.

Journal of Science Education and Technology, v6 n2 p127-41 Jun 1997

Synthesizes the results of three case studies of middle school classrooms in which computer and video materials were used to teach topics in earth and space sciences through interactive simulations. Describes specific instances in which common current practice is problematic. Makes suggestions regarding improved design principles for such materials. Contains 25 references. (Author/JRH)
