Controlling Challenge in Instructional Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mattoon, Joseph S.; Klein, James D. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1993
Discussion of learner control in computer-assisted instructional simulations focuses on an experiment conducted with undergraduate students that compared three different treatments for instructional control in an aircraft simulator. Topics addressed include performance on immediate and delayed posttests; practice; student attitudes; effects of…

Effects on Children's Achievement and Curiosity of Variations in Learner Control over an Interactive Video Lesson.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arnone, Marilyn P.; Grabowski, Barbara L. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1992
The effects of variations in learner control were examined for an interactive lesson presented as a videodisc visit to an art museum. The 101 first and second grade subjects were assigned to program control, learner control, and learner control with advisement conditions, or to a control group. Data on achievement and curiosity were analyzed. (28…

Using Hypermedia to Provide Learner Control.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Becker, D'Arcy A; Dwyer, Margaret M. – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 1994
This study found that students using hypertext to learn technical information experienced an increased sense of control, and results provide preliminary evidence of an increased level of intrinsic motivation to learn among hypertext users. Implications for further research regarding the effects of hypermedia on intrinsic motivation are discussed.…

The Effects of Cooperative Learning and Learner Control on High- and Average-Ability Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hooper, Simon; And Others – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1993
Describes a study that examined the effects of cooperative versus individual computer-based instruction on the performance of high- and average-ability fourth-grade students. Effects of learner and program control are investigated; student attitudes toward instructional content, learning in groups, and partners are discussed; and further research…

Learner Control Modes and Incentive Variations in Computer-Delivered Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hicken, Samuel; And Others – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduate students that investigated the effects of two types of learner control and two types of incentives--task-contingent and performance-contingent--on learners' achievement, attitudes, use of options, and time on program using computer-delivered instruction. Implications for instructional design and research are…
