Qian Fu; Xinyi Zhou; Yafeng Zheng; Zhenyi Wang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Understanding algorithms is crucial for programming education, yet their abstract nature often challenges students. Algorithm visualisation (AV) has been proven effective in enhancing algorithmic thinking among university students. However, its efficacy for elementary school students and the optimal forms of AV tools remain unclear.…

Tiphaine Colliot; Jean-Michel Boucheix – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Previous studies have shown that dynamic illustrations, as compared to their static counterparts, lead to higher achievement levels, especially for hand-based procedures. Other researchers have investigated how the presence of seductive details (i.e., appealing but irrelevant adjunct displays) influences students' interest positively…

Wu, Changcheng; Jing, Bin; Gong, Xue; Ma, Xunzhou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Zoomorphism, an obverse of conventional anthropomorphism, has been shown in many cases to be a powerful tool with respect to the metaphorical use of animals. Objectives: This study introduced zoomorphism into the instructional video design of pedagogical agents (PAs). Method: We first developed three image sets, each of which…

Javora, Ondrej; Hannemann, Tereza; Volná, Kristina; Dechterenko, Filip; Tetourová, Tereza; Stárková, Tereza; Brom, Cyril – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
The present study investigates affective-motivational, attention, and learning effects of unexplored emotional design manipulation: "Contextual animation" (animation of contextual elements) in multimedia learning game (MLGs) for children. Participants (N = 134; M[subscript age] = 9.25; Grades 3 and 4) learned either from an experimental…

Mize, Min Kyung; Park, Yujeong; Moore, Tara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
The purpose of this study was to synthesize the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) studies aiming to increase vocabulary for students with disabilities in an effort to identify what type of CAI is promising for practice. An extensive search process with inclusion and exclusion criteria yielded a total of 13 single-subject design…

Dindar, M.; Kabakçi Yurdakul, I.; Inan Dönmez, F. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
The majority of multimedia learning studies focus on the use of graphics in learning process but very few of them examine the role of graphics in testing students' knowledge. This study investigates the use of static graphics versus animated graphics in a computer-based English achievement test from a cognitive load theory perspective. Three…
