II. RELATED WORK
ICT have been successfully applied in education through
the “design-based research” method. Next, we present some
of many studies on the use of ICT in Learning Sciences. Dede
et al. [6] used graphical multi-user virtual environment as a
vehicle to study the teaching potential of immersible simulations.
Students learned to behave as scientists in a virtual
world, while they collaboratively identified problems through
observation and inference, formed and tested hypotheses, and
deduced evidence-based conclusions about underlying causes.
Herrington et al. [7] addressed the issue of the significant
gap between the level of difficulty in academic problems
and practical problems.
