Yu-Cin Jian; Leo Yuk Ting Cheung; Yi-Jye Wu; Fang-Ying Yang; Guo-Li Chiou – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Computer-simulated experiments have been gaining popularity over hands-on experiments in science education, given the availability of technology and the trend of distance learning. Past studies have focused primarily on comparing the learning outcomes and user experiences of the two experiment modes. In this study, we used an eye tracker to…

Toh, Pee Li Leslie; Kapur, Manu – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
A critical assumption made in Kapur's ("Instr Sci" 40:651-672, 2012) productive failure design is that students have the necessary prerequisite knowledge resources to generate and explore solutions to problems before learning the targeted concept. Through two quasi-experimental studies, we interrogated this assumption in the context of…

Winberg, T. Mikael; Hedman, Leif – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
Attitudes toward learning (ATL) have been shown to influence students' learning outcomes. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the ways in which the interaction between ATL, the learning situation, and the level of students' prior knowledge influence affective reactions and conceptual change. In this study, a simulation of acid-base…
