Drier, Hollylynne Stohl
TechTrends, v45 n2 p22-24 Mar-Apr 2001
The design of "Probability Explorer" was inspired by: lack of research-based elementary probability software; constructivist principles for designing computer microworlds; and research on children's probabilistic reasoning. Discussion includes the inspirational and theoretical basis for design; conceptualizing the "Probability Explorer" environment; and the iterative design process. (AEF)
