..., and presenting measurements. Indicatively, we mention those of the companies: Vernier, Pasco, Texas Instrument, Fourier (all with more than 50 sensors in their catalogs) but also research institutes of the CMA (Center for Microcomputer Applications) of the AMSTEL Institute (Amsterdam Mathematics, Science...

... approach comes about in order to resolve certain tensions but then give rise to new tensions and contradictions. Broader responses to resolving a particular tension have given rise to entirely new lab environments. One such example is discussed below. Example 2: Real-Time Physics and Microcomputer-Based...

...) motivation for this optics research was his skepticism about the efficacy of using microcomputer-based lab (MBL) technology in elementary schools. This technology for this study to investigate third graders’ understanding of the behavior of light consisted of a light-sensing probe connected to the MBL...

... parallel to this was the first NSF grant to Robert Tinker of TERC (see Technical Education Research Centers ) for the design of microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) tools (for the Apple II personal computers that were just arriving on the educational scene), and for their application in physical science...

..., inability to visualize the motion that is represented in a velocity-time graph and difficulties interpreting the area under the graph. Approximately at the same time, in a study on the impact of microcomputer-based labs on children's ability to interpret graphs, Mokros and Tinker (1987) also found two...
