An Evaluation of an Inquiry-Based Computer-Assisted Learning Environment.
Maor, Dorit; Fraser, Barry
Australian Science Teachers Journal, v40 n4 p65-70 Dec 1994
This study focused on students' development of inquiry skills in a computerized learning environment. Seven Year-11 classes (n=120) interacted with a computerized database, "Birds of Antarctica," and curriculum materials while the teacher used an inquiry approach to learning. Students perceived their classes as more investigative and open-ended and improved their inquiry skills. (18 references) (Author/MKR)
