Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Witteveen, Loes; Put, Marcel; Leeuwis, Cees – Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension, 2010
This paper presents an evaluation of the visual problem appraisal (VPA) learning environment in higher education. The VPA has been designed for the training of competences that are required in complex stakeholder settings in relation to sustainability issues. The design of VPA incorporates a diversity of instruction strategies to accommodate the…

Eilks, Ingo; Witteck, Torsten; Pietzner, Verena – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2009
This paper discusses what chemistry students might see while working with animations found on the Internet and how these electronic illustrations can potentially interact to reinforce rather than resolve misconceptions about chemical principles that a student may possess. The Daniell voltaic cell serves as an example to illustrate the ways in…

Clark, Ruth Colvin; Mayer, Richard E. – Performance Improvement, 2008
A learner-centered approach is a central feature of instruction based on a constructivist learning model. However, there is some confusion regarding the requirement for behavioral activity as a prerequisite for a learner-centered environment. We offer evidence in this article that some types of behavioral activity can interfere with cognitive…

Bodemer, Daniel; Ploetzner, Rolf; Bruchmuller, Katrin; Hacker, Sonja – Instructional Science: An International Journal of Learning and Cognition, 2005
When learners explore dynamic and interactive visualisations they are often not able to interact with them in a systematic and goal-oriented way. Frequently, even supporting learners in processes of discovery learning does not lead to better learning outcomes. This can be due to missing pre-requisite knowledge such as the coherent mental…

Mise en situation analogique, ou de la video a un niveau avance (Real Life Situations, or the Use of Visuals at the Advanced Level).
Marino, Ingrid – Francais dans le Monde, 1982
Cognitive theories normally applied to listening comprehension are applied to the use of visuals with mass media broadcasts for second language instruction: the visual image as advance organizer, as reinforcement of concrete information, and as an association with abstract information. A related study in Germany is cited and illustrated. (MSE)

Using Realia in Instruction.
Blanton, Lloyd H.; And Others – Agricultural Education Magazine, 1980
Seven articles in this issue focus on the use of realia in instruction. Authors discuss reasons why realia effectively motivate students and enhance learning; the place of realia in supervised occupational experience programs; the importance of real-life experiences to vocational agriculture; and student teaching as a reality experience.
