Genetics Reasoning with Multiple External Representations.
Tsui, Chi-Yan; Treagust, David F.
Research in Science Education, v33 n1 p111-35 2003
Explores a case study of a class of 10th grade students whose learning of genetics involved activities using BioLogica, a computer program that features multiple external representations (MERs). Findings indicate that the MERs in BioLogica contributed to students' development of genetics reasoning by engendering their motivation and interest but only when students are mindful in their learning.
