| The Royal Society of Chemistry published a lot of studies done to evaluate the use of computers in science education including the following. 1. Levine and Donitsta-Schmidt (1996) compared traditional learning strategies with computer-based learning. Results of the study showed that the experimental group was more successful at answering the questions of the Chemistry Achievement Test than the control group. 2. Demircioglu and Geban (1996) compared computer assisted instruction and traditional teaching methods on sixth grade science classes. The experimental group was taught with computers assisted instruction in addition to the traditional teaching method. The control group was taught using problem solving. The topics included static electricity, ohms law and electrical transmission. The group that used the computer assisted instruction did better on a science achievement test than the control group.
