Korfiatis, K.; Papatheodorou, E.; Paraskevopoulous, S.; Stamou, G. P.
International Journal of Science Education, v21 n12 p1269-80 Dec 1999
Describes a study of the effectiveness of computer-simulation programs in enhancing biology students' familiarity with ecological modeling and concepts. Finds that computer simulations improved student comprehension of ecological processes expressed in mathematical form, but did not allow a full understanding of ecological concepts. Contains 28 references. (Author/WRM)
