Personal inquiry: scripting support for inquiry learning by participatory design
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
This paper focuses on the participatory design processes during a project concerned with supporting children aged 12 – 15 to carry out personal scientific inquiries and in particular how the process varied between two case ...
Examining the combination of Physical and virtual experiments In an inquiry science classroom
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
Physical investigations and computer simulations have often been used independently in inquiry science classrooms. This study investigates the benefits of combining physical and virtual experiments when learning about ...
Supporting science studies for children with long term health problems using nefreduca
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
Children with long term health problems cannot always maintain their schooling and keep up with the curriculum (Prevatt et al., 2000; McDougall et al., 2004). They also spend prolonged periods in hospital where access to ...
Towards a model for evaluating stduent learning via e-assessement
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
The need for practical tools to assess student learning at the course level is becoming a more pressing goal for all academic institutions. This situation arises because learning assessment tools which monitor both student ...
“Pec task explorer”: a tool for Ict supported learning in science
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
In modern science teaching the role of ICT in supporting learning cannot be underestimated, let alone be ignored. Especially for the Predict-Observe-Explain strategy (POE), multimedia-supported POE tasks may be used as a ...
Modelling and data acquisition for continuing vocational training of upper secondary school physics teachers in pupil-active learning of superconductivity and electromagnetism based on minds-on simple experiments
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
The MOSEM2 project (MOdelling and data acquisition for continuing vocational training of upper secondary school physics teachers in pupil-active learning of Superconductivity and ElectroMagnetism based on Minds-On Simple ...
Teachers’ designs of web-based inquiry learning environments as a probe for inquiry teaching and learning frameworks
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
A growing number of studies have reported that teachers face many challenges in conceptualizing and enacting inquiry–based teaching and learning. Even though teacher designed approaches are considered an important pathway ...
An analysis of science teachers’ classroom discourse relating to the use of models and simulations in physics
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
This case study provides an account of three teachers’ first attempts in implementing simulation experiments within a design-based inquiry science curriculum. We examined how three in-service teachers used simulations and ...
Students’ motivation in using virtual learning spaces
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
In this paper, there are presented researches on the degree students from the Didactic and Specialties’ Didactics master studies are interested in using virtual learning spaces. Our researches have been realized within the ...
Using real -time graphs to enhance understanding of kinematics graphs: motions detectors in the physics classroom
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
The activities and the case study were inspired by publications uncovering a consistent set of student difficulties with graphs of position, velocity and acceleration versus time. Research indicates that the use of a Motion ...
