Kühl, Tim; Stebner, Ferdinand; Navratil, Sabrina C.; Fehringer, Benedict C. O. F.; Münzer, Stefan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
This research examined whether the informational advantage of an animation over a static picture (and over no visualizations as a control condition) can be compensated by presenting the information in the text that constitutes this informational advantage. In addition, it was investigated whether learners' spatial abilities acted as a compensator…

Mühling, Andreas – Computer Science Education, 2016
Concept maps have a long history in educational settings as a tool for teaching, learning, and assessing. As an assessment tool, they are predominantly used to extract the structural configuration of learners' knowledge. This article presents an investigation of the knowledge structures of a large group of beginning CS students. The investigation…

Damnik, Gregor; Proske, Antje; Körndle, Hermann – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
When teachers or instructors create computer-based learning environments, they often solely consider technical aspects of interactivity. As a consequence, learners' main role is to respond to requests of the learning environment (e.g. by answering multiple-choice questions). This aspect of interactivity is, however, not sufficient to understand…

Schmidt, Susanne; Zlatkin-Troitschanskaia, Olga; Fox, Jean-Paul – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2016
Longitudinal research in higher education faces several challenges. Appropriate methods of analyzing competence growth of students are needed to deal with those challenges and thereby obtain valid results. In this article, a pretest-posttest-posttest multivariate multilevel IRT model for repeated measures is introduced which is designed to address…

Klopp, Eric; Stark, Robin; Kopp, Veronika; Fischer, Martin R. – Journal of Education and Learning, 2013
The acquisition of diagnostic competence is seen as a major goal during the course of study in medicine. One innovative method to foster this goal is problem-based learning with erroneous worked examples provided in a computer learning environment. The present study explores the relationship of attitudinal, emotional and cognitive factors for…

Sander, Elisabeth; Heiß, Andrea – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2014
Three different versions of a learning program on trigonometry were compared, a program controlled, non-interactive version (CG), an interactive, conflict inducing version (EG 1), and an interactive one which was supposed to reduce the occurrence of a cognitive conflict regarding the central problem solution (EG 2). Pupils (N = 101) of a…
