GAIA - A microworld based educational software for cross-curriculum and
exploratory study of the Earth
GAIA is a microworld based educational software aiming to be smoothly integrated into the Greek
National Curriculum. GAIA motivates students to study, explore and understand concepts relevant to
Geography, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy and History of Science and Technology, through the
use of appropriate representations and specific features that assist students to express their ideas
during problem solving.
GAIA utilizes the pedagogical approach of multiple representations. A didactic concept can be
represented through multiple ways. 3D graphics offer an interesting and stimulating experience that
increases students engagement and participation, while 3D representations create a highly
interactive environment that helps the students understand complicated concepts.
