  2. 11. Simulated "real" worlds : Actions mediated through computer game play in science education

    Author : Elisabet M. Nilsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer game play; science education; computer games; game-based learning; mediated action; empirical studies; Agent O; SimCity 4; computer game play science education computer games game-based learning; Agent O; empirical studies; SimCity 4; mediated action;

    Abstract : Over the last decade, a great variety of visionary ideas and beliefs have been brought forward, regarding the potentials of using computer games as a tool for learning and mediation in educational settings. This thesis aims at contributing to research in this field, by empirically exploring what happens when students play and reflect on their computer game play in science education. READ MORE

  4. 12. That's How We Role! A Framework for Role Modeling in Computing and Engineering Education : A Focus on the Who, What, How, and Why

    Author : Virginia Grande; Mats Daniels; Anne-Kathrin Peters; Anders Berglund; Päivi Kinnunen; Alison Clear; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Role model is a term used in everyday language and literature on education, particularly on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access, describing topics such as motivation and inspiration. However, role model, as a loosely defined concept, is understood and used in different ways. READ MORE

  5. 13. Do excellent engineers approach their studies strategically? : A quantitative study of students' approaches to learning in computer science education

    Author : Maria Svedin; Olle Bälter; Stefan Hrastinski; Martha Cleveland-Innes; Johan Thorbiörnson; Arnold Pears; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Approaches to learning; computer science engineering education; Computing education research; online learning; Human-computer Interaction; Människa-datorinteraktion;

    Abstract : This thesis is about students’ approaches to learning (SAL) in computer science education. Since the initial development of SAL instruments and inventories in the 70’s, they have been used as a means to understand students’ approaches to learning better, as well as to measure and predict academic achievement (such as retention, grades and credits taken) and other correlating factors.

  6. 14. Virtual learning environments in higher education : a study of students' acceptance of educational technology

    Author : Christina Keller; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Economic Information Systems; Ekonomiska informationssystem; Informatics;

    Abstract : Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are fundamental tools for flexible learning in higher education, used in distance education as well as a complement to teaching on campus (blended learning). VLEs imply changing roles for both teachers and students. READ MORE

  7. 15. A blueprint for using commercial games off the shelf in defence training, education and research simulations

    Author : Håkan Hasewinkel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : There are two types of simulations, those made for business and those made for pleasure. The underlying technology is usually the same, the difference being how and for what purpose the simulation is used. Often the two purposes can be combined. READ MORE
