Cycles of Exploration, Reflection, and Consolidation in Model-Based Learning of Genetics
Beaumie Kim; Suneeta A. Pathak; Michael J. Jacobson; Baohui Zhang; Janice D. Gobert
Journal of Science Education and Technology Vol. 24, No. 6 (2015) pp. 789–802
Model-based reasoning has been introduced as an authentic way of learning science, and many researchers have developed technological tools for learning with models. This paper describes how a model-based tool, "BioLogica"?, was used to...

Learning the Physics of Electricity: A Qualitative Analysis of Collaborative Processes Involved in Productive Failure
Suneeta A. Pathak; Beaumie Kim; Michael J. Jacobson; Baohui Zhang
International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Vol. 6, No. 1 (March 2011) pp. 57–73
Earlier quantitative studies in computer-supported collaborative learning identified "Productive Failure" (Kapur, Cognition and Instruction 26(3):379-424, "2008") as a phenomenon in which students experiencing relative failures in their initial...
