DOI: 10.1080/10494820.2024.2414421
Abstract: ABSTRACT Does inventing representations in open-ended computational environments contradict the goal of acquiring canonical scientific knowledge? We analyze the computational models of electric conductors that N = 35 eight-grade students built with a NetLogo-based microworld. Students used… read more here.
