Improving student teachers’ TPACK self-efficacy through lesson planning practice in the virtual platform
How teachers use technology efficiently in their classes is an important issue because learning environments are also affected by rapid developments in instructional technology. In the current stud...
Inquiry-Based Education: Innovation in Participatory Inquiry Paradigm
TLDR
A learning application “AIBASE” is designed, which assists primary school students in generating hypotheses during Science experiments and highlights the main criteria for inquiry-based learning.
Technology supports for acquiring inquiry skills.

Instructors' Intended Learning Outcomes for Using Computational Simulations as Learning Tools
TLDR
The outcome space of instructors' goals for using computational simulations is consistent with the recommendations found in the literature based on studies of the use of simulations in more restricted research settings.
Using Task-Based Modeling to Generate Scaffolding in Narrative-Guided Exploratory Learning Environments
TLDR
A description of a novel domain-independent framework that automatically generates and fades scaffolding supports for task-oriented learning within exploratory environments that is modeled through plan-based interactive narrative.
Technology-Enhanced Learning in Science
This chapter investigates the supportive role of new technologies in science learning. The first part presents the theoretical underpinnings of technology- enhanced learning (TEL) in science, framing…
The Design of Effective Simulation-Based Inquiry Learning Environments
TLDR
Characteristics of simulations are set out, characteristic inquiry processes and associated problems are discussed, and what is needed to design effective inquiry learning environments are examined.

TLDR
Overall, the constructivist view of learning may be best supported by methods of instruction that involve cognitive activity rather than behavioral activity, instructional guidance rather than pure discovery, and curricular focus rather than unstructured exploration.
