Modelling in physics teaching: the role of computer simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the importance and value of modelling in physics teaching is discussed from two different points of view: to teach physics as it is nowadays practised; to take into account research into cognitive science and learning.

A Microcomputer Dynamical Modelling System
Jon Ogborn,Denis Wong +1 more
TL;DR: The authors argue that simulation is not always the best mode for educational programs to work in, despite the large and growing number of such programs, and present a system that allows students to engage rather directly in the process of modelling, and to learn some important lessons about models and classes of models.
Dissertation
Computational modelling in science education: a study of students' ability to manage some different approaches to modelling.
Kurtz dos Santos,Arion de Castro +1 more
TL;DR: This research involves a survey through an individual questionnaire about causal diagramming and mathematical knowledge, which aims at characterizing the students' model building capability, and an intensive study with pairs of students doing exploratory and expressive tasks using two modelling systems: IQON and STELLA.
DissertationDOI
Objectworlds : a class of computer-based discovery learning environments
TL;DR: A psychological framework is described which provides a useful way of thinking about the construction of computer simulated objects for discovery learning applications and it is shown that the combination of interfaces helps learners to explore the world of these objects more effectively.

Models as a pedagogical tool: can we learn from Maxwell?
TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of how physical models may best be used in teaching is presented, and it is stressed that one must be prepared to drop a model if contradictory evidence comes to light and also that the place a model has as an educational tool parallels its use in advancing a scientific theory.

Offshore Wind Energy Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary assessment of the economics of offshore wind energy systems is provided, and the potential to provide more than 20% of UK electricity needs is discussed. But the authors do not consider the potential for large-scale deployment of wind energy in the UK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning to Use Mathematics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give the junior or senior high school student the advantage of an integrated program without depriving him of daily contact with teachers specialized in the teaching of certain subjects.

The Objectives and Creation of a Course of Simulations/Case Studies for the Teaching of Engineering Mathematics
L.S. Clements,R.R. Clements +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new course is designed to give students experience in these fields by using a hybrid of the case study and simulation techniques, where problems will be presented to students as a package of memoranda, reports, drawings, technical notes, etc.
