Fortunately, integrating supportive cognitive tools with computer simulations may provide a solution. Learning by Inquiry Studies of young students' knowledge and skills indicate that many students in large parts of the world are not optimally prepared for the requirements of society and the workplace (1). To meet this challenge, curricula should be designed to help students learn how to regulate their own learning, how to continue to gain new knowledge, and how to update their existing knowledge.
