Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Schroeder, Noah L.; Craig, Scotty D. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
This study examined the influence of three levels of learner control on learners' perceptions when learning with a pedagogical agent. Pedagogical agents have shown promise for improving learning and connections with learning materials within video-based instruction, and research has shown that agent design choices can influence how agents are…

Patterns of Exploration and Learning with Hypermedia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schroeder, Eileen E.; Grabowski, Barbara L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1995
Describes a study of undergraduates that compared navigational study strategies, the extent of lesson coverage, and attitudes about learning with three types of hypermedia lessons to examine how learners use different types of graphical browsers in a learner-controlled hypertext system to construct personalized representations of the content…

Controlling Challenge in Instructional Simulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mattoon, Joseph S.; Klein, James D. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1993
Discussion of learner control in computer-assisted instructional simulations focuses on an experiment conducted with undergraduate students that compared three different treatments for instructional control in an aircraft simulator. Topics addressed include performance on immediate and delayed posttests; practice; student attitudes; effects of…

Bringing Together Technology and Students: Examining the use of Technology in a Project-based Class.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moss, David M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2000
Examines how technology was utilized within a student-centered project-based class, as well as students' beliefs about their technology use. Findings indicated teachers and students held differing conceptions on what was valued in class. Students spent much more time on technology-related skills than on exploring content. Content learning occurred…

Influence of Prior Knowledge, Attitudes, Ability, and Activity Structure on Students' Learning and Use of Software.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tolhurst, Denise; Debus, Raymond L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2002
Describes a study of Australian secondary school students that identified the conditions and individual characteristics that would best support learners' acceptance of control within hypermedia, based on evidence from the learner control literature. Investigated effects of prior domain knowledge, learning activity structure, ability, and attitudes…

Motivational and Achievement Effects of Learner Control over Content Review within CAI.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kinzie, Mable B.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study of ninth graders that investigated the effects of learner and program control over content review in science-related computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Results of posttests, continuing motivation measures, and attitude questions are discussed; and future research is suggested. (35 references) (LRW)
