Abstract
This short paper describes the methodological design space facing a research group on a project concerning the effects on conceptual change of an intervention based on computer simulation software. The many interacting factors in such an intervention are mentioned: group work, the effect of supplementary materials, the “halo” effect of novel technology, the cost of using a control group. The possibility is discussed of extracting data, not just from pre- and post-tests, but from the iterations of the design of the material and software itself. Finally, issues to do with whether it is the computer that is the crucial feature of the intervention are raised.
