Teachers using computer modelling and simulation in the science classroom: the English case

Fani Stylianidou and Jon Ogborn
 

Abstract

This report looks at the use of computer modelling and simulation in the teaching of science in secondary schools in England. More particularly, using teacher case studies the research attempts to identify possible factors which favour or hinder the take-up of the selected informatic tools in science classes, and to investigate how teachers incorporate these tools in the curriculum.
