Liew, Tze Wei; Tan, Su-Mae; Seydali, Rouzbeh – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2014
The present study examined the relationship among learners' differences, behaviors in manipulating variables, and learning achievements in a simulation-based program that supports discovery learning in the subject of C-programming algorithm. Participants (n = 66) took the Group Embedded Figures Test, Action Control Scale, and Computer…

Nezhad, Gholam Reza Haji Pour; Shokrpour, Nasrin – English Language Teaching, 2012
Vocabulary knowledge influences the learners' performance so remarkably that success in all language skills is closely related to it. This vital role necessitates studies focusing on the most effective programs of teaching vocabulary. In this study, we aimed to explore the impact of static versus dynamic task type and the possible interaction with…

Cognitive Styles, Computerized Treatments on Mathematics Achievement and Reaction to Treatments.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Canino, Casilda; Cicchelli, Terry – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Describes aptitude treatment interaction study that used the cognitive styles field dependence and independence matched with computerized algorithmic and discovery treatments to determine mathematics achievement on a criterion-referenced test. Posttest mathematics scores and student responses to the computer are analyzed, and mastery learning is…

Effects of Logo Instruction on Cognitive Style.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cathcart, W. George – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1990
Describes study that was conducted with fifth graders to investigate the effects of Logo instruction on three measures of cognitive style: divergent thinking, field dependence/independence, and impulsivity/reflectivity. Treatments of the experimental and control groups are explained, and results of pretests and posttests are analyzed. (11…

Individualistic versus Paired/Cooperative Computer-Assisted Instruction: Matching Instructional Method with Cognitive Style.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whyte, Michael M.; And Others – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1991
Describes a study that was conducted to determine whether paired/cooperative computer-assisted instruction (CAI) was as effective as individual instruction. Treatment of experimental and control groups is explained, and the effects of pairings based on cognitive style--i.e., field dependence and field independence--on achievement and student…
