Direct linkLin, Lijia; Atkinson, Robert K. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2013
The purpose of the two experiments was to investigate the potential effects of different types of visualizations and self-explanation prompts on learning human cardiovascular system in a multimedia environment. In Experiments 1 and 2, 70 and 44 college students were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions in a 2 × 2 factorial design with…

Spires, Hiller A.; Rowe, Jonathan P.; Mott, Bradford W.; Lester, James C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
Targeted as a highly desired skill for contemporary work and life, problem solving is central to game-based learning research. In this study, middle grade students achieved significant learning gains from gameplay interactions that required solving a science mystery based on microbiology content. Student trace data results indicated that effective…

Peer reviewedCardinale, Loretta A.; Smith, Charles M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1994
Discussion of the teaching of learning strategies focuses on a study of undergraduates that investigated the effects of comprehension-directed and memory-directed computer-based learning strategy training on the achievement of learning objectives. Treatment of experimental and control groups is explained, and further research is suggested.…

Peer reviewedWatson, J. Allen; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study that examined preschoolers' abilities to learn problem solving with LOGO, learn new strategies to use during problem solving, and transfer computer learning to other settings. Differences in the effectiveness of LOGO learning for field-dependent versus field-independent learning styles are discussed. (65 references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedTovar, Mariela; Coldevin, Gary – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study that was designed to investigate the interaction between three levels of instructional control (i.e., linear, mixed, and learner) and provision of an orienting activity on college students' learning of factual and procedural knowledge via interactive video. Instructional time and recall of facts and procedures are examined. (35…

Peer reviewedAhern, Terence C.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study that examined increasing peer interaction in an asynchronous learning environment by investigating the effect of a teacher's discourse style on the level and quality of student participation in a computer-mediated discussion. Three discourse styles (i.e., questions, statements, and conversational) are studied, and further…
