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 ...
Functional comprehension of concepts and Graphical representations in kinematics Supported by M.B.l. and simulations
(University of Cyprus, 2007)
The aim of this paper is the formulation of an instructive proposal for the conceptual comprehension of
phenomena of Kinematics in one dimension, in the Greek Lyceum, supported by: suitable laboratory activities
with the ...
Simulations, applets and learning in schools
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This paper reviews the problem of establishing learning effects with computer simulation packages in science teaching. It is stated that evidence is accumulating about the effects of simulations in a laboratory environment ...
Striking results with bouncing balls
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
In a laboratory activity students study the behaviour of a bouncing ball. With the help of a high-speed camera they
can study the motion in detail. Computer modelling enables them to relate the measurement results to the ...
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, ...
Consistency of an optics lesson including ICT at grade 8
(University of Cyprus, 2010)
This paper presents an analysis on the implementation of an ICT-based activity in a physics lesson about optics at grade 8 (lower secondary school). This activity aims at introducing the additive synthesis of colors with ...
Information technology for understanding Science (it for us)
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
The principal aim of the IT for US Project is to present teachers with a vision for the use of ICT in science
teaching which exploits the qualities of software tools for developing conceptual understanding of scientific ...
Animation Models In E-Learning Of Science
(University of Zilina, 2005)
The article deals with the simulation models in e-learning applications which are the basis of controlled animation. Visualization of simulation experiments with the computer has a great significance in teaching-learning ...
Regrex: a java-based package for teaching and active learning in regression
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
REGREX is a software system designed to improve teaching and learning some concepts in regression. Even though there is a lot of commercial statistical software we have chosen to develop this computerized package, in order ...
The development of modeling skills through computer based simulation of an ant colony
(Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
Learning in science can be analyzed into a number of constituent components: the acquisition of experiences with
natural phenomena provides the basis for the subsequent development of concepts; the mental representation ...
