Investigations of a Complex, Realistic Task: Intentional, Unsystematic, and Exhaustive Experimenters
Peer reviewed
Direct linkMcElhaney, Kevin W.; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2011
This study examines how students' experimentation with a virtual environment contributes to their understanding of a complex, realistic inquiry problem. We designed a week-long, technology-enhanced inquiry unit on car collisions. The unit uses new technologies to log students' experimentation choices. Physics students (n = 148) in six diverse high…

Ibrahim, Bashirah; Buffler, Andy; Lubben, Fred – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2009
The views on various aspects of the nature of science (NOS) of 179 novice undergraduate physics students were investigated using six open-ended, written probes. These views were consolidated within compact NOS "profiles", which were designed based on the students' responses to the probes. These profiles may be understood as sets of key…
