SpeakerGraphic Teaching Computer Programming in Elementary Schools: A Pilot Study
Janet Mei-Chuen Lin et al, Department of Information and Computer Education, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan taught 10-12 year old students to use Stagecast Creator, HANDS, and Visual Basic and analyzed the students' attitudes and the difficulties they encountered in learning computer programming. Results of the study showed children can learn and enjoy computer programming, so why not teach them in elementary school? This paper was presented at NECC in 2005.

 

SpeakerGraphic The Use of Computer-Based Microworlds for Developing Modeling Skills in Physical Science: An Example from Light
Loucas Louca of the University of Maryland and C. P. Constantinou of the University of Cyprus conducted a study implementing the model-based learning cycle in middle school teaching, using Stagecast Creator as a tool for constructing models. This paper was submitted to the International Journal of Science Education in 2002.

SpeakerGraphic Students' Collaborative Use of Computer-Based Programming Tools in Science: A Descriptive Study
Loucas Louca of the University of Maryland et al investigated the use of Stagecast Creator and Microworlds as modeling tools for collaborative science learning with fifth grade students. This paper was submitted to the CSCL Conference 2003.

 

SpeakerGraphic Children's Understanding of Place Value: The Design and Analysis of a Computer Game
Ana Tiburtius Lucena of the University of London, United Kingdom, conducted a study using Stagecast Creator to create an environment to investigate children's understanding of place value. This is a summary of the research before its completion in 2004.

 

SpeakerGraphic The Influence of Computer Games as Cultural Artifacts on Children's Thinking about Mathematics
Antonio Martins-Mourão of Luton University, United Kingdom, used Stagecast Creator to design an environment to explore cultural differences in English and Portuguese children's thinking about numbers. This is a summary of the research in progress.
