Learning Residential Electrical Wiring through Computer Simulation: The Impact of Computer-Based Learning Environments on Student Achievement and Cognitive Load
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Han-Chin; Su, I-Hsien – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Multimedia learning environments such as computer simulations are widely accepted as tools for supporting science learning. Although the design of multimedia learning environments can be domain specific, few studies have focused on the use of computer simulations for learning residential electrical wiring. This study aimed to determine whether…

Schoenfeld's Problem Solving Theory in a Student Controlled Learning Environment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Harskamp, E.; Suhre, C. – Computers & Education, 2007
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a student controlled computer program for high school mathematics based on instruction principles derived from Schoenfeld's theory of problem solving. The computer program allows students to choose problems and to make use of hints during different episodes of solving problems. Crucial episodes are:…

The Assessment of Athletics "Knowledge" with Written and Video Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
van Vuuren-Cassar, Gemma; Lamprianou, Iasonas – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2006
Background: Athletics programmes for secondary schools include a variety of skills, knowledge and cognitive abilities, which are currently assessed through written, practical, oral and/or video-based tests. Skills are traditionally taught in practice-based sessions, while the knowledge aspect is often reinforced in class-based sessions with…
