Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

This paper reports on the need, rationale, design and findings of a doctoral research study done at Teacher's College, Columbia University. Significant differences were found in several comparisons which were done to obtain answers to basic questions about the usage of analog computer simulations. Suggestions are also made for further research in this area of educational technology.
