Theoretical Bases for the Use of Learner Control: Three Different Perspectives.
Milheim, William D.; Martin, Barbara L. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Discusses and reviews learner control research and presents three theoretical bases to help provide a framework for past research as well as to assist in designing future studies: (1) motivation, (2) attribution, and (3) information processing. Three types of learner control are discussed in relation to the theoretical perspectives: pacing,…

Computer-Based Adaptive Instruction: Effects of Learner Control on Concept Learning.
Murphy, Marilyn Anne; Davidson, Gayle V. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Describes a study that tested the applicability of the Tennyson-Cocchiarella concept teaching model for undergraduate nursing education, and investigated the effects of three different learner control strategies on concept learning. The computer-based concept lesson used is described, and effects on recall and retention are discussed. (33…

The Effects of Advisement and Locus of Control on Achievement in Learner-Controlled Instruction.
Santiago, Rowena S.; Okey, James R. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduate preservice teachers that investigated three types of advisement--adaptive, evaluative, and combined--and their effects in learner-controlled computer-based instruction for learners with varying locus of control orientations. Posttest results are reported, and it is concluded that there is no significant…
