In their study, "Scientific Discovery Learning with Computer Simulations of Concept Domains", Ton de Jong and Wouter van Joolingen review research that addresses the effectiveness of simulations in promoting scientific discovery learning and the problems that learners may encounter as they use discovery learning. This review is important not only for the guidance it provides to designing simulations but also for what it says about students' ability to reason scientifically in general.
