A study of the pictorial representations of the phenomenon of friction on the internet
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Τhe aim of this work is to study the ways in which a natural phenomenon of daily life, such as friction, is depicted on the Internet,. The Internet, apart from being an important source of information, can be developed so ... -
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 ... -
Sunset project: creation of computer and observational network for student educational research
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)A pilot project is presented, aimed at creation of an educational network of astronomical observations performed by middle-school, high-school and university students at different geographical latitudes. Project participants ... -
Supporting collaborative learning in science with an online tool
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)This paper discusses a new approach trialled in a first year core science unit that aims to develop generic skills such as scientific writing, numeracy skills, computer literacy and communication skills. The trial involved ... -
Supporting data-rich inquiries on the world-wide-web
(University of Zilina, 2005)Data-driven inquiries that resemble authentic scientific tasks are seen as one of the primary ways that could facilitate students’ development of scientific reasoning skills and contribute to their understanding of the ... -
Supporting on-Campus Learning of Mathematics with a Learning Management System
(University of Zilina, 2005)Easy-to-use web-based learning management systems are becoming more readily available to academics at universities around the world, to facilitate the delivery of online courses or to support on-campus courses with online ... -
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 ... -
Symbolic calculus in calculating characteristic and acyclic polynomials of graphs
(Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)There are many polynomials closely connected with graphs and the theory of graphs. These polynomials are useful both in theory and its application as they enable to determine some properties of graphs and relations among ... -

Symposium proposal computer-based modeling in science: the case of stagecast creator
(University of Zilina, 2005)There is a longstanding awareness of the need to help students learn about models and modeling in science, and computer-based programming environments are promising tools for this. A computer program can be a model of a ... -
System dynamics modeling: from mechanics to chemistry
(University of Cyprus, 2008)In this paper, we discuss a contribution toward the use of analogical reasoning by explicit system dynamics modeling of physical processes. The relational structures found in simple models are transferred to an example ... -
Systematic analysis of the potential contribution of communication and information tools to the design and development of research-based science curriculum
(Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)Computer technology has received much attention as a means of reforming educational practice in Physics. It is widely believed that technology could function as a medium for bringing about the necessary reform to ... -
Taking an electronic mathematics examination from home: what the students think

Talk factory: the use of graphical representations to support argumentation around an interactive whiteboard in primary school science
(University of Cyprus, 2010)In the classroom, children are often asked to work in groups and to discuss learning activities together. However, they can find this challenging as they do not always have the necessary discussion and argumentation skills ... -
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 ... -
Talking physics in inquiry based virtual laboratory activities
(University of Cyprus, 2010)This study refers to secondary students working in a simulated virtual open laboratory environment using “Thermolab”, following an innovative course on thermal phenomena, being engaged in a variety of activities, ranging ... -
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 ... -
Teachers’ struggles to use technology in career magnet schools
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)Do teachers expect the learning environment to change in response to new technology? Or do they expect the technology to adapt to their routine classroom practices? Or is it a combination of both? Underlying these questions ... -
