A model of protein synthesis from the Web-based learning environment Cell World was studied by 59 French students. Students had to manipulate certain virtual molecules so that they would react as a biological phenomenon. Questions on a worksheet investigated student understanding of the ontological categories of objects and processes under the influence of the manipulable and non-manipulable model components. The results of the study suggest a trend wherein the category of processes was less understood than those of objects. However, the outcome also demonstrates that manipulation of a virtual environment can help students to understand the category of processes, rather than merely the properties of objects. Thus, Cell World should be considered as an efficient process-based environment.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proceedings Paper</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000316712900072</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cited References Count:11|BEI54|LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY FOR LEARNING, VOL I|EDITURA UNIVERSITARA|BD NICOLAE BALCESCU NO 27-33, BUCHAREST, 00000, ROMANIA|ISI Document Delivery No.:BEI54</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Univ Tartu, Sci Educ Ctr, EE-51010 Tartu, Estonia</style></auth-address><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OS</style></label></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

An experiment was conducted using learning environment &quot;Cell World&quot; in order to enhance students' skills of analysing and translating visual information. The participants were 190 Estonian secondary school students who applied the models of protein synthesis and genetic code. A pre- and post-test was designed and completed to measure students' visual literacy. Results of the study indicated that students' skills in analysing visual information were higher after the application of the models. The students' ability to translate information across different representations also developed statistically significantly. This study therefore provides additional evidence that introducing manipulative learning objects in instructional settings can significantly improve learner's visual literacy.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WOS:000316712900085</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cited References Count:14|BEI54|LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY FOR LEARNING, VOL I|EDITURA UNIVERSITARA|BD NICOLAE BALCESCU NO 27-33, BUCHAREST, 00000, ROMANIA|ISI Document Delivery No.:BEI54</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Univ Tartu, Sci Educ Ctr, EE-50090 Tartu, Estonia</style></auth-address><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OS</style></label></record></records></xml>
