Henderson, Lyn; Klemes, Joel; Eshet, Yoram
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v22 n1 p105-29 2000
Describes a study that investigated whether second grade students internalized content and concepts embedded in a science computer simulation as opposed to treating it as a game to be played. Discusses cognitive outcomes and processes, thinking skills, use of scientific language, transfer to other contexts, and partner and gender considerations. (Contains 49 references.) (Author/LRW)
