Glogger-Frey, I.; Kappich, J.; Schwonke, R.; Holzäpfel, L.; Nückles, M.; Renkl, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
A brief, problem-oriented phase such as an inventing activity is one potential instructional method for preparing learners not only cognitively but also motivationally for learning. Student teachers often need to overcome motivational barriers in order to use computer-based learning opportunities. In a preliminary experiment, we found that student…

Anderson, Carrie L.; Miller, Brant G.; Eitel, Karla Bradley; Veletsianos, George; Eitel, Jan U. H.; Hougham, Robert J. – Electronic Journal of Science Education, 2015
Environmental education authors have argued for cultivating a relationship with nature and the outdoors, and have urged parents to "unplug" their children from technology. In this perspective, technology is seen as curtailing ties to the environment and its use needs to be limited. In this paper, we consider the idea that while…
