Students were then givenmaterials to create a maze and asked to write instructions for an animal figurine to complete themaze. The second activity focused on sequencing and loops and required students to write downinstructions for a popular dance. Once instructions were placed in the correct order, studentsperformed the dance. The third activity integrated Language Arts with Scratch Stories for studentsto develop their own creative stories, including programming the plot and designing the scenes,characters, and actions.

research is on the use of self-regulation strategies commonlyapplied to solve problems requiring “recursive and non-recursive mechanism.” Thinkingrecursively is one of the strategies of computational thinking. Computational thinking ispopularly defined as a way of solving problems, designing systems, and understanding humanbehavior that draws on concepts fundamental to computer science. The hypothesis of thisresearch is that students with experience in applying a computational thinking strategy will usedifferent self-regulation strategies than less experienced ones.REU Research Project 2: Effect of Computer Simulation and Animation on Students’Motivation, Self-Regulation, and Cognitive Strategies in Engineering DynamicsThe research focuses on a

Conversely MATLABprograms can be mapped to flowchart-like diagrams and run in J-DSP. Although Simulink doesthe latter as well, the J-DSP tool runs on any platform requiring only a Java-enabled browser.Moreover the Java software integrates seamlessly with web content and animations supportinginternet courses.

In recent years, suchinteractions have occurred in virtual worlds, where the users of these virtual worlds (avatars)debate, negotiate, simulate the consequences of various scenarios and solve simplified real-worldproblems. This virtual setting may provide an effective learning experience for students, and itmay also capture and hold their attention. Virtual worlds
