Novel computational representations, such as simulation models of complex systems and
video games for scientific discovery (Foldit, Ete RNA etc.), are dramatically changing the way …

This paper takes an embodied and extended cognition perspective to ER integration–a
cognitive process through which a learner integrates external representations (ERs) in a …

Manipulation of physical models such as tangrams and tiles is a popular approach to
teaching early mathematics concepts. This pedagogical approach is extended by new …

Representational competence in science is the ability to generate external representations
(eg equations, graphs) of real-world phenomena, transform between these representations …

Educational technology designs in developing countries mostly focus on making knowledge
resources widely available, through MOOCs, repositories and computer‐based tutoring. The …

Representational competence (RC), defined as “the ability to simultaneously process and
integrate multiple external representations (MERs) in a domain”, is a marker of expertise in …

The emergence of new computational media is radically changing the practices of science,
particularly in the way computational models are built and used to understand and engineer …

External representations (ERs), such as diagrams, equations, graphs, etc. are central to the
