The Effects of Interactive Dissection Simulation on the Performance and Achievement of High School Biology Students.
Kinzie, Mable B.; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v30 n8 p989-1000 Oct 1993
A study of 61 high school biology students found that Interactive Video Disk (IVD) simulation was as effective as actual frog dissection in promoting student learning of frog anatomy and dissection procedures. When used as a preparation for dissection, IVD simulation helped students perform better dissections and learn more from doing dissections. (PR)
