Taking a social semiotics perspective in this study, we take the view that authoritative sources are inscriptions of cultural artifacts and science learning involves meani...
متن کاملSimulation as Science Discovery: Ways of Interactive Meaning-Making
This article addresses how computer-based simulations may support conceptual learning in science education. The study investigates how these interactions unfold, and explores how it may inform design. The article reports on project-based learning in schools where four pairs of students from upper secondary school use a future climate simulator integrated in a web-based learning environment. Our...
