Conceptual development through computer simulations: a case study in physics
This paper investigates how students engage with a simulation, during problem solving, and learn. It is a case study with three groups of university students solving a thermodynamics problem (Carnot cycle) assisted by a computational simulation specifically designed for that circumstance.

| Sumario: | This paper investigates how students engage with a simulation, during problem solving, and learn. It is a case study with three groups of university students solving a thermodynamics problem (Carnot cycle) assisted by a computational simulation specifically designed for that circumstance. Coordination Class Theory is used to interpret the results. These reveal that there are three distinct types of interaction between students and simulation that promote the conceptual development of the participating groups. |
