Title: | Evaluation of an Educational Computer Programme as a Change Agent in Science Classrooms | Contributor(s): | Muwanga-Zake, Johnnie Wycliffe (author) | Publication Date: | 2007 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10956-007-9078-y | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/2972 | Abstract: | I report on benefits from 26 teacher-participant evaluators of a computer game designed to motivate learning and to ease conceptual understanding of biology in South Africa. Using a developmental, social constructivist and interpretative model, the recommendation is to include the value systems and needs of end-users (through social dialogue); curriculum issues (learning theories in the ECP and those the education authorities recommend, as well as ECP-curriculum integration); the nature of the subject the ECP presents (e.g., Nature of Science); and the compatibility of the ECP with school computers. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Science Education and Technology, 16(6), p. 473-490 | Publisher: | Springer Netherlands | Place of Publication: | Netherlands | ISSN: | 1573-1839 1059-0145 |
