Research about the Use of Information Technology in Science Education

• In this paper, we investigate some aspects of effectiveness in two different kinds of learning environments with use of information technology. The first part shows research results related to a web-based integrated science environment (WISE) and its effects on changing the role of the teacher, the curriculum, and the student. In the second part, three different approaches for scaffolding conceptual development in physics by using interactive computer models are analysed. Research results about different aspects of their effectiveness are presented. Both parts together show empirical results in relation to different promising approaches of using information technology in science education.
