Developing students' problem solving skills by learning simulation "hiking across Estonia"
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)A unique web-based learning environment “Hiking Across Estonia” (http://bio.edu.ee/tour/) comprising two modules – one for students and another for developers and researchers – has been composed. Students have to solve 30 ... -
Ecologies of parental engagement and preservice science teacher education: the design and development of a multimedia case-based environment “p a r e n t s”
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)The purpose of this paper is to present the rationale and principles that guided the design and development of a multimedia case-based environment, called PARENTS. Following a development research approach, the tenets of ... -
Enhancing fourth graders’ ability to interpret graphical representations through the use of sensors in the context of phase transformations (melting and freezing)
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Sensors constitute a powerful tool in physical science as far as the rapid collection and analysis of data is concerned. In addition to the rapid collection of data, sensors are valued for their capability in the simultaneous ... -
The use of mind mapping software to improve primary school students’ ability to construct scientific arguments
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)The purpose of this study was to examine elementary school students’ ability to construct scientific arguments. We set out to analyze students’ arguments in aspects of structure and validity of claims, before and after ... -
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 ... -
The e-learning movement as a process of quality improvement in education: the case of the University of Cyprus
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Quality in education has been regognized as an issue that should guide our efforts for improvement for many years. eLearning is the latest attempt to take advantage of developments in technology to improve learning. In ... -
The use of I.C.T. in the teaching of kinematics at post-secondary level – a case study
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)This paper is meant to probe into the effectiveness of I.C.T. as a teaching resource. An experimental method was adopted as the research design of this study and two groups of students i.e. a test and a control group ... -
A study on science teachers´ use of design features of a simulated visual laboratory to develop active involvement of students in the teaching of thermodynamics at senior high school
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)In this paper we describe a small-scale exploratory study on how in-service science teachers of Greek senior high schools can take advantage of facilities included in a simulated visual Lab to create innovative open ... -
Exploring the nardoo –designing simulations that support improved learning outcomes for students studying issues of management of a water catchment
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Whole catchment management of water resources is a complex process requiring students to develop an understanding of systems and processes which operate at over extended timeframes at both a macro and micro environmental ... -
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 ... -
The status of computer based technologies and science education in the southern metropolitan region of Victoria, Australia
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Integrating computer-based technologies into all Key Learning Areas of every school’s curriculum has been a priority school policy of the Victorian government since the mid -1990s. Over the last 10 years, huge sums of money ... -
Computer visualization of the approximations of functions by several terms of their Fourier series
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Fourier trigonometric series are a constant component of the basic course of calculus at Universities. If we teach the topic about the Fourier series in the classical way it is often necessary to give a lot of time to a ... -
Using computer simulations to enhance teaching the structure of materials
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)We discuss computer programs for drawing and analyzing the structure of several types of materials at the atomic level. We begin with simple examples of structure addressed to middle and high school-level students using ... -
Microsoft power point xp: an innovative tool to deliver Aesop’s fables
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Many worldwide efforts have been made recently in restructuring teacher education programs. Prospective teachers must be better prepared for the ever-changing world in which, technology plays a prominent role in their ... -
Knowledge acquisition in distance education
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)This paper describes knowledge structuring as a learning strategy in design education. Given that education is the knowledge transfer from one intelligent system to another, we discuss two main characteristics of education: ... -
Theoretical & practical resources of e-learning
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)At present a rapid development of learner-centred instruction can be observed, in which participants are less dependent on teachers. Of great significance are the quality of study materials as well as programmes supporting ... -
Distance learning as a new method for studying the earth sciences in high school
