Bruce Mann – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2025
In this study, temporal speech cues were integrated into online curriculum to solve non-routine problems in curricular multimedia. Teachers-in-training (n=56) were randomly assigned to one of three treatment conditions. It was expected that participants in the temporal speech cues condition would be more likely to solve problems than those in the…

Alyssa P. Lawson; Richard E. Mayer – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
In multimedia learning, there is a lot of new information that learners are exposed to, making it a cognitively intensive process. Poorly-designed multimedia lessons can introduce distractions that must be dealt with by the learner. However, learners do not all share the same skill at managing incoming information or holding capacity, which could…

Chen, Rongjun; Luo, Xiaomei; Nie, Qiong; Wang, Leijun; Li, Jiawen; Zeng, Xianxian – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
This paper proposes the BP-CM teaching model to solve the problems of lagging classroom feedback, poor learning initiative of students and students rapidly forgetting what they have learned in Internet of Things (IoT) hardware technology courses. This BP-CM(BOPPPS, PAD, cyclic memory, memory system) teaching model is based on BOPPPS(Bridge in,…

Telli, Esra; Altun, Arif – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2023
This research aims to examine the effect of semantic encoding strategy instruction on students' near and far transfer performances in e-learning environments. The research was performed by experimental design. Dependent variables of the research were near and far transfer performances. Independent variable was strategy instruction on encoding.…

Sweller, John; van Merriënboer, Jeroen J. G.; Paas, Fred – Educational Psychology Review, 2019
Cognitive load theory was introduced in the 1980s as an instructional design theory based on several uncontroversial aspects of human cognitive architecture. Our knowledge of many of the characteristics of working memory, long-term memory and the relations between them had been well-established for many decades prior to the introduction of the…

Margaret Lee – Learning Professional, 2025
In this article, the author describes learning principles that are grounded in Daniel Willingham's (2017) simple model of the mind and suggest professional learning strategies aligned with them. These strategies are consistent with the Learning Designs standard of the Standards for Professional Learning, which states, in part, "Educators use…

Julia A. Simms – Solution Tree, 2024
With many distractions competing for students' attention, student engagement and knowledge retention are more important than ever. "Where Learning Happens" explores the types of attention--sustained, selective, divided, and effective--in depth and provides research-suggested strategies to maximize student attention and engagement. By…

Matthew, Gordon; De Villiers, Koos – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2020
In recent years, a large number of learning management sites (LMs) have emerged in the higher education sector, but these systems are generally not well-maintained. Most of the time the burden falls upon the lecturers to populate and maintain the content on these sites. The problem is, most of these online environments are built around complex…

Kimberley A. Baxter; Nidhi Sachdeva; Sabine Baker – Health Education & Behavior, 2025
Health and behavior change programs play a crucial role in improving health behaviors at individual and family levels. However, these programs face challenges with engagement and retention and typically show modest efficacy. Cognitive load theory is an established and highly used educational theory that proposes individuals have a finite capacity…

Albers, Fabian; Trypke, Melanie; Stebner, Ferdinand; Wirth, Joachim; Plass, Jan L. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: What is redundancy? While most studies confirm that redundancy is harmful to learning, there are two theoretical approaches to redundancy. The first understands redundancy as a contentual overlap that puts demand on the limited cognitive capacities of the learner. The second understands redundancy as an ineffective combination of…

Richey, J. Elizabeth; McEldoon, Katherine; Belenky, Daniel – Pearson, 2023
Pearson's Learning Foundations describe the optimal conditions for learning and reflect the learner experience Pearson hopes their products will create. Pearson does this by incorporating the Learning Design Principles. Each of the Learning Design Principles goes into detail about a key principle, supporting product design and marketing by…

Tomás Hyland; Niall Seery; Jeffrey Buckley – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
An association between spatial ability, particularly visualisation, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has been repeatedly demonstrated over the past four decades. Understanding this relationship is of critical importance as substantial evidence illustrates the malleability of spatial ability and that the…

Shearer, Rick L.; Yu, Junxiu; Peng, Xinyun – Learning: Research and Practice, 2021
Within the fields of learning design, instructional systems and educational psychology, cognitive load has been discussed and debated for a number of years. The impact of course designs on learning process is still questioned, and how we learn continues to be an intriguing question. The fields of working memory (WM) and cognitive load (CL) have…

Ting-Chia Hsu; Mu-Sheng Chen – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the experiential learning cycle (ELC) and self-regulated learning (SRL), both implemented through a game-based approach (AI 2 Robot City board game), in fostering computational thinking (CT) and understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in university level. The sample consisted of…
