{"pk":31677,"title":"Toward a Model of Student Education in Microworlds","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Microworlds are educational environments intended to support the student in the active exploration of a subject-matter domain. W e present preliminary work whose goal is to attain a better understanding of the educational effectiveness of microworlds through an examination of the learning processes that they exploit. The learning processes are made explicit within a computational model of the interaction between a student and a microworld for simple electrostatics. W e focus, in particular, on the implementation of an episodic memory mechanism that gives insight into the processes involved in learning from incorrect behavior.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Submitted Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4xz084w9","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Cristina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Conati","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Jill","middle_name":"Fain","last_name":"Lehman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1993-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31677/galley/22745/download/"}]}
