How to evaluate science problem solving in a computerized learning environment? Construction of an analyzing scheme
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This paper describes the construction of a ‘computerized science problem solving’ scheme, which enables analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of science problem-solving by junior high-school students working in a ...
E-education: implications for knowledge transfer via global co-operative education
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This paper reports on a radical and ongoing learning and teaching experiment in which a private multinational organization (Cisco) and traditional learning institutions (schools, colleges and universities) have combined ...
Digipoe: an open standard and reference implementation for digital portfolios
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
In this paper we present the design and implementation of a software system aiming at helping educators in the process of appraisal for self-improvement and self-evaluation. The system is a "Digital Portfolio Environment" ...
Virtual optical illusions for creative learning
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
An amazing “rotating ring” optical illusion was studied in the frames of the students’ educational computer-based research work. Virtual images of differently shaped moving objects were simulated in QBasic 71, MS Visual ...
The potential of distance e-learning in the Spatial information sciences – an evaluation of a pilot programme at the dublin institute of Technology
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
The authors describe a pilot course in ‘Co-ordinate and reference systems for spatial information’, delivered via the Internet, to staff of the Irish national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi). The pilot ...
Moving from local to global teaching: integrating appropriate technologies – a reflection
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
There are many reasons why universities and other tertiary education institutes are moving away from providing local (or face-to-face) teaching to global teaching. Our School of Computer and Information Science is one that ...
Enhancing cognitive development through Physics problem solving: example of a thinking-skills Curriculum
(University of Cyprus, 2008)
Numerous research studies in the last thirty years have highlighted the inadequacy of the traditional introductory
physics course. It has been shown that students who leave such courses tend to have incoherent physics
knowledge ...
Modellingspace: the setting up of human networks as vital part of the design and implementation of a technology-supported learning environment
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
The ModellingSpace (MS) project is concerned with developing and implementing a computer-based modelling learning environment in actual school contexts and preparing an education programme for the teachers involved in it. ...
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 ...
Combining digital techniques and field data to teach interdisciplinary coastal studies
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
