Description
Simulations are one of the most powerful digital tools for science education. This paper investigates the views of Greek secondary school teachers regarding the use of simulations in the teaching and learning of science, aiming to probe the individual factors, positive or negative, that may influence their decisions regarding integrating simulations into their practice. Our preliminary results show that despite the poor technical infrastructure reported by most respondents, teachers display a positive view concerning the use of simulations in science education due to their perceived value in learning. A few teachers display negative views when comparing simulations with traditional laboratories.
