Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Taleyarkhan, Manaz; Dasgupta, Chandan; Garcia, John Mendoza; Magana, Alejandra J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
Engineering design thinking is hard to teach and still harder to learn by novices primarily due to the undetermined nature of engineering problems that often results in multiple solutions. In this paper, we investigate the effect of teaching engineering design thinking to freshmen students by using a computer-aided Design (CAD) simulation…

An Integrated Framework for CBI Screen Design and Layout.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hannafin, Michael J.; Hooper, Simon – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Discusses the importance of screen design in computer-based instruction (CBI), and presents a framework for screen design decisions based on the ROPES (Retrieving, Orienting, Presenting, Encoding, and Sequencing) meta-model for instructional design. Psychological, instructional, and technological foundations of screen design are discussed, and…

Adapting Programmed Materials to Learning Strategies: Overcoming the Spatial-Sequential Effect with the VOCAL System.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weinstein, Allen – CALICO Journal, 1987
Describes spatial and sequential learning strategies and how they affect student performance and progress in second-language learning. Briefly describes a test identifying preferred style. Suggests how instructors can then individualize instruction. Outlines the way VOCAL, a multilingual authoring system, can be used in a language laboratory for…

The Sequence of Conceptual Information in Instruction and Its Effect on Retention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ranzijn, Frederik J. A. – Instructional Science, 1992
Describes two experiments in Dutch secondary schools that were carried out to study the effect of the sequencing of the information in computer-assisted instructional programs. Instructional design for concept learning is discussed; successive and coordinate relationships between concepts are explained; and tests designed for procedural and…

The Effects of Pacing and Sequence Control in an Interactive Video Lesson.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Milheim, William D. – Educational and Training Technology International, 1990
Discusses research on learner control, pacing, and sequence, and describes a study of undergraduates that was conducted to determine the effects of learner versus program control of pacing and sequence in an interactive video lesson on photography. Results are analyzed, and suggestions for further research are given. (38 references) (LRW)
