Effect of Instruction Using Microcomputer Simulations and Conceptual Change Strategies on Science Learning.
Zietsman, Aletta I.; Hewson, Peter W.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v23 n1 p27-39 Jan 1986
This study used a microcomputer program which diagnosed and remediated an alternative conception of velocity. Results show computer simulations are credible representations of reality and that the remedial part of the program produces significant conceptual changes in students holding the alternative conception.
