{"abstract":"Teaching biology in high school is challenging, with numerous topics to cover and potential pitfalls to avoid. Traditional teaching methods, like using textbook pictures, can be ineffective, especially when teaching complex concepts like evolution, genetics, and kingdoms of classification. To address this, educators are turning to simulations to improve the teaching and learning process. Simulations have been used in various fields for decades, allowing scientists to model and communicate complex ideas effectively. Not surprisingly, science students also benefit from using simulations to enhance their understanding and knowledge integration. A study in Bangkok, Thailand, investigated the effectiveness of using simulations to teach selected topics in biology to Grade 12 students. The research compared a traditional lecture-based approach with a simulation-based method using an interactive computer simulation called PLIX. Results showed that students in the simulation-based group had significantly higher post-test scores than those in the traditional teaching group. This suggests that incorporating simulations into biology lessons can enhance students' understanding of complex scientific concepts. Educators are encouraged to integrate simulation-based teaching methods into their curricula to improve student learning and engagement in science education.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Jefferson Tangonan","Mary Ann Biscocho"],"date":"2024-06-10","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.11548030","id":3028,"issue":7,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"b6fb768912efd027f9c8e169e2ae11d7db080a4d4f2727a2fe48c47d4c601d8d","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Effectiveness of Simulation Strategy in Teaching Selected Topics in Biology at Assumption College Thonburi, Bangkok, Thailand","volume":20}

printf '%s' "$(curl -s https://scimatic.org/nft/articles/3028.json | jq -r .canonical_record)" | sha256sum

2. The hash stored on chain (contentHash(3028)):

curl -s https://rpc.scimatic.net -H 'content-type: application/json' \

The two must be equal (the second with a 0x in front).
