Bhuiyan, Shawkat; And Others – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Presents the PETAL (Programming Environment Tool) learning environment, and discusses a study where one group of students used PETAL and another used a standard LISP environment to learn recursion. The PETAL group performed better during the learning period and on a written posttest. Theorizes why PETAL may be responsible for improved learning of…

Scheines, Richard; Sieg, Wilfried – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Using a computerized logic course employing the Carnegie Mellon Proof Tutor problem-solving environment, crucial features of computer environments were isolated and relative pedagogical effectiveness was assessed. Students used computerized environments to construct proofs and were presented with identical course materials on sentential logic. The…

Roth, Wolff-Michael – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Describes a study focusing on the role of chalkboards in classroom science talk. Discusses similarities of the overall structure of the whole-class conversation with scientific laboratory talk. Suggests implications for design of technologies that allow larger numbers of students to participate in whole-class sense-making conversations.…

Jackson, Shari L.; And Others – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Discussion of dynamic modeling focuses on the development of a new modeling tool called Model-It which provides intentionally designed scaffolding for learners, enabling them to build and test dynamic models of complex systems using object-oriented and qualitative techniques. Classroom testing with high school students is described. (Author/LRW)

Mandinach, Ellen B.; Cline, Hugh F. – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Examines how systems thinking, simulation, and modeling affect secondary school teachers' classroom processes. Highlights include a two-dimensional matrix to show patterns of adaptation, teacher proficiency with technology, curriculum development, time constraints, teacher training, expertise, accountability, administrative issues, and the…
