Keyboard instructions as concepts of the language of quantitative biology in spreadsheet-assisted activities

Pages 39-46 | Published online: 13 Dec 2010
 

Abstract

The potential contribution of the electronic spreadsheet to science teaching is well recognized, especially concerning various aspects of data presentation (e.g. graphing skills). However, its introduction into the science classroom often seems awkward as students and teachers must learn the technique of its use. We challenged this attitude while developing a series of computer-assisted activities, based on the LOTUS 123 electronic spreadsheet which aimed to enhance the skills of students concerning crucial quantitative aspects of secondary school biology.
