Redundancy effect has been investigated in many controlled experimental studies, however, it is seldom investigated whether the same redundant material may cause different results in classroom, which is a major learning place for students. Considering that it is not easy to control the internal validity in classroom environment, this study…

Cho, I-Hsuan; Yeo, Jun-Hui; Hwang, Gwo-Haur; Yang, Hsi-Hsun – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Collaborative learning helps to construct a learning situation in which students solve problems together, and their learning effectiveness is promoted. However, collaborative learning often has the problem of unequal participation of learners. Therefore, this study combines the collaborative learning mode of the virtual environment of digital…

The present study employed a quasi-experimental design to assess a computer-based tool, which was intended to scaffold the task of designing experiments when using a virtual lab for the process of experimentation. In particular, we assessed the impact of this tool on primary school students' cognitive processes and inquiry skills before and after…

Pasfield-Neofitou, Sarah; Huang, Hui; Grant, Scott – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
Increased recognition of the role of the body and environment in cognition has taken place in recent decades in the form of new theories of embodied and extended cognition. The growing use of ever more sophisticated computer-generated 3D virtual worlds and avatars has added a new dimension to these theories of cognition. Both developments provide…

Nelson, Brian C.; Erlandson, Benjamin E. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
In this paper, we explore how the application of multimedia design principles may inform the development of educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs). We look at design principles that have been shown to help learners manage cognitive load within multimedia environments and conduct a conjectural analysis of the extent to which such…

Collaboration Modality, Cognitive Load, and Science Inquiry Learning in Virtual Inquiry Environments
Erlandson, Benjamin E.; Nelson, Brian C.; Savenye, Wilhelmina C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
Educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have been shown to be effective platforms for situated science inquiry curricula. While researchers find MUVEs to be supportive of collaborative scientific inquiry processes, the complex mix of multi-modal messages present in MUVEs can lead to cognitive overload, with learners unable to…
