  3. Correlates of Achievement with Online and Classroom-based MBL Physics Activities

    David Slykhuis, James Madison University, United States; John Park, North Carolina State University, United States

    Students from five high schools participated in a two to four week microcomputer based laboratory (MBL) physics curriculum in two groups. One group completed the curriculum entirely online, and the... More

  4. The effect of contextual pedagogical advisement and competition on middle-school students’ attitude toward mathematics using a computer-based simulation game

    Richard Van Eck, University of North Dakota, United States

    Many students enter mathematics courses with a poor attitude toward mathematics (Gal & Ginsburg, 1994), making attitude as important a consideration as achievement in mathematics (e.g., CTGV, 1992;... More

    pp. 165-195

  5. Exploring the Relationship between Modularization Ability and Performance in the C++ Programming Language: The Case of Novice Programmers and Expert Programmers

    Maurice Vodounon, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, United States

    The primary purpose of the study was to determine if a treatment that concentrates on building programs from previously written modules can improve the decomposition processes of novice programmers... More
