Problem solving and cognitive foundations for program development: an integrated model
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This paper addresses the interdependence among problem solving, cognition, and program development. The goal is to present a coherent and complete theoretical model which can serve as a basis for program development ...
Talking about evidence in inquiry-based science: what role can software scaffolds play?
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
Evidence-based explanations are a core element of scientific reasoning. Nonetheless, the literature reports that middle school students often fail to support their hypotheses with evidence, do not always recognize that ...
Can the use of an interactive computational model assist in teaching forms of causality in system dynamics?
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This study investigated the effectiveness of a computational model (made with Stagecast Creator1) in teaching forms of causality in system dynamics. Systems causality forms were examined within the context of food web ...
