Computer tools to simulate acoustic phenomena
(University of Zilina, 2005)
Acoustics is a branch of science whose mathematical models require a great effort of abstraction and spatial visualization. There are several pieces of computational software that allow us to represent these phenomena by ...
Visualization of quantum phenomena
(University of Cyprus, 2007)
Many abstract phenomena are, by their nature, "unseeable". What then does it mean to visualize quantum
phenomena such as Compton Scattering, Alpha and Beta Decay, or collisional de-excitation? Perhaps more
importantly, ...
Designing electronic performance support systems to enhance computer-based learning
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
An electronic performance support system (EPSS) is a computer-based environment that facilitates skill and
knowledge acquisition within a particular domain of study. As well as its pedagogic utility, an EPSS can also ...
Perc: a departmental solution for web-enhanced courses
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
Since the Fall of 1998, the department of Physics and Astronomy at Mississippi State University has been using
and developing PERC (Providing Electronic Resources for Courses), a set of utilities that can be used ...
Enhancing fifth graders understanding of complex ecosystems through a model-based approach utilizing stagecast creator
(University of Zilina, 2005)
We report a study in which we designed and implemented a curriculum within the context of ecosystems aimed at fostering scientific modelling skills and enhancing conceptual understanding among fifth graders through the use ...
Graphical representation of data: the effect of the use of dynamical statistics technological tool
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
In response to calls for reform an innovative course which has at its core element a dynamical statistical software
package, Fathom, was developed as an alternative approach to traditional introductory statistics in ...
Difficulties in representing microscopic phenomena on the internet: the case of brownian motion
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
Brownian Motion is the motion during which the particles suspended in a fluid move in a random way in all
directions. Randomness is a key concept in understanding the phenomenon. Also, because it refers to molecular
motion, ...
Developing research-based technology-enhanced curriculum materials: an example in the context of decision-making skills
(University of Zilina, 2005)
This study describes the design of web-based learning materials for the development of decision-making skills in energy-based issues. First, we provide an overview of the curriculum development methodology we used and then ...
Zoowise: web-based design for learning in and about science
(University of Zilina, 2005)
Grounded in contemporary perspectives on learning science as inquiry and built upon empirical research evidence pointing to the significant role of technology tools in supporting this kind of learning, we present a framework ...
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 ...
