Abstract

Describes one instructor's approach to incorporating simulations and classroom discussions into a differential equations course. Discusses subsequent effects on student learning attitudes and outcomes in conceptualizing and applying ideas regarding solutions to differential equations in this learning environment. Explores issues on computer-mediated learning environments and recommendations for using simulations to support conceptual development. (Author/KHR)
