Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Clarebout, Geraldine; Horz, Holger; Schnotz, Wolfgang; Elen, Jan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
The current study investigates whether embedding support may provide a solution to sub optimal use of support and whether this is related to learners' self-regulation skills and goal orientation. Sixty students were divided in a condition where support was embedded and a condition where support was non-embedded. Results reveal that the embedded…

Clarebout, Geraldine; Elen, Jan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2009
Starting from Perkins' (1985) framework, this study addresses tool use in a computer-based learning environment. In line with Perkins, first the effects of tool use on performance were investigated to gain insight into the functionality of the tools. Next, the influence of advice was studied to identify whether this advice could make students more…

Sarfo, Frederick Kwaku; Elen, Jan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
This study aimed at experimentally investigating the moderating role of instructional conceptions on the effectiveness of powerful learning environments (PLE) designed in line with the four-component instructional design model (4C/ID-model). The study also investigated the influence of learning in a 4C/ID PLE on students' instructional…
