Chen, Xuqian; Wei, Ziqian; Li, Ziteng; Clariana, Roy B. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
How does conceptual structure of external representations contribute to learning? This investigation considered the influence of generative concept sorting and of external structure information moderated by perceived difficulty. In Study 1, undergraduate students completed a perceived difficulty survey and comprehension pretest, then a sorting…

Costley, Jamie; Fanguy, Mik – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Studies showing improved learning performances for students who take notes collaboratively have speculated that sharing this task among group members may reduce the extraneous cognitive burden placed on each member. Therefore, a study (n = 171) was conducted in the context of a flipped scientific writing course to examine the effects of…

Li, Shan; Zheng, Juan; Lajoie, Susanne P.; Wiseman, Jeffrey – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Prior research has focused extensively on how emotion tendencies (e.g., duration, frequency, intensity, and valence) affect students' performance, but little is known about emotion variability (i.e., the fluctuations in emotion states) and how emotion variability affects performance. In this paper, emotion variability was examined among 21 medical…

Zheng, Xudong; Ma, Yunfei; Yue, Tingyan; Yang, Xianmin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different types of cues and self-explanation prompts in instructional videos on intrinsic motivation, learning engagement, learning outcomes, and cognitive load, which were indicators to measure deep learning performance. Seventy-two college students were randomly assigned to one of the…

Wang, Tingting; Li, Shan; Huang, Xiaoshan; Lajoie, Susanne P. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
This study examined how task complexity affected the temporal characteristics of self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviours in clinical reasoning. Eight-eight (N = 88) medical students participated in this study. They were required to diagnose two virtual patients of varying complexity in BioWorld, an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) designed to…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Yu, Qi; Yang, Jiumin – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2023
Much effort has been put into the design of video lectures, but little attention has been paid to the social environment in which learning takes place. The present study addressed this gap by assigning Chinese undergraduate and graduate students who had passed the College English Test-4 to learn easy or difficult English vocabulary words in three…

Elme, Liisalotte; Jørgensen, Maria L. M.; Dandanell, Gert; Mottelson, Aske; Makransky, Guido – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
The goal of the current study was to investigate the effects of an immersive virtual reality (IVR) science simulation on learning in a higher educational setting, and to assess whether using self-explanation has benefits for knowledge gain. A sample of 79 undergraduate biology students (40 females, 37 males, 2 non-binary) learned about…

Castro-Meneses, Leidy J.; Kruger, Jan-Louis; Doherty, Stephen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
We know from the literature that high cognitive load can impede performance and educational outcomes. Previous measures of cognitive load have largely relied on subjective scales but few have explored more objective measures. This paper aims to address this issue by examining the validity of electroencephalography (or EEG) as an objective measure…

Huang, Fang; Teo, Timothy; Zhou, Mingming – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This large-scale study used the extended technology acceptance model to examine the different factors influencing Chinese university students' intentions to use the Internet-based technology with a learning focus. Specifically, the subject norm was conceptualised as a three-dimensional construct consisting of teacher influence, peer influence and…

Sun, Yanyan; Gao, Fei – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This study examines the relationships among intrinsic motivation, critical variables related to technology adoption, and students' behavioral intention in mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). To test the hypothesized model through a path analysis, 169 survey responses were collected from undergraduate students who were foreign language…

Sánchez-Mena, Antonio; Martí-Parreño, José; Miquel-Romero, María José – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2019
Educational video games (EVGs) offer instructors a myriad of opportunities to motivate and engage students in the learning process. Nevertheless, instructors can be influenced by barriers that prevent them from using EVGs in their courses (e.g. lack of expertise with EVGs). Instructors can also be influenced by different drivers that might…

Cheng, Li; Beal, Carole R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of student-generated drawing and imagination on learning recall, learning transfer, and cognitive load, and also students' attitudes towards the learning strategies when learning a computer-based science text, compared to learning with provided pictures. The study used three groups: drawing…

Ong, Chiek Pin; Tasir, Zaidatun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
The aim of the research is to study the information retention among trainee teachers using a self-instructional printed module based on Cognitive Load Theory for learning spreadsheet software. Effective pedagogical considerations integrating the theoretical concepts related to cognitive load are reflected in the design and development of the…

Reid, Alan J.; Morrison, Gary R.; Bol, Linda – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
This paper presents results from an experimental study that examined embedded strategy prompts in digital text and their effects on calibration and metacomprehension accuracies. A sample population of 80 college undergraduates read a digital expository text on the basics of photography. The most robust treatment (mixed) read the text, generated a…

Schoor, Cornelia; Bannert, Maria; Brunken, Roland – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
This study assessed the role different kinds of secondary tasks play for researching the modality effect of cognitive load theory. Ninety-six university students worked with a computer-based training program for approximately 13 min and had to fulfill an additional secondary task. In a 2 x 2 factorial design, modality of information presentation…
