{ "pk": 27435, "title": "Eliciting Middle School Students’ Ideas About Graphs Supports Their Learningfrom a Computer Model", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "When middle school students learn science content withgraphs, the graphing and science knowledge may be mutuallyreinforcing: understanding the science content may help stu-dents interpret a related graph, and information from a graphmay illustrate a scientific concept. We examine this relation-ship between graphing and science by studying how studentslearn from interactive computer models with accompanyingdata graphs. The computer models provide an animated simu-lation that illustrates an unobservable phenomenon, while thedata graph tracks one or more quantities over time. This or-dering study, on middle school students learning about photo-synthesis, indicates that engaging with novel graph conceptshelped students interpret their data as they experimented withthe computer model. The study also provided some supportfor the opposite direction: experimenting with the model firsthelped students make sense of the graphs.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Graphing; Photosynthesis; Knowledge Integration" } ], "section": "Posters: Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2pp93159", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Eliane", "middle_name": "Stampfer", "last_name": "Wiese", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Berkeley", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Anna", "middle_name": "N.", "last_name": "Rafferty", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Carleton University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Marcia", "middle_name": "C.", "last_name": "Linn", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, Berkeley", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2017-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27435/galley/17071/download/" } ] }
