Hands-On versus Computer Simulation Methods in Chemistry.
Bourque, Donald R.; Carlson, Gaylen R.
Journal of Chemical Education, v64 n3 p232-34 Mar 1987
Reports on a study that examined and compared the cognitive effectiveness of a traditional hands-on laboratory exercise with a computer-simulated program on the same topic. Sought to determine if coupling these formats would provide optimum student comprehension. Suggests hands-on exercises be followed by computer simulations as postlaboratory exercises. (TW)
