The Effects of Content-Structure Focusing on Learner Structural Knowledge Acquisition, Retention, and Disorientation in a Hypermedia Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beasley, Robert E.; Waugh, Michael E. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1996
Describes a study of 61 undergraduates that investigated the effects of hypermedia content-structure focusing on learner's structural knowledge acquisition, retention, and disorientation. Use of a Completely Randomized Multivariate Analysis of Variance design for hypothesis testing is explained and implications for hypermedia design are discussed.…

Learner Control over Feedback as a Variable in Computer Assisted Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schloss, Patrick J.; And Others – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1988
Describes study that compared the performance of high achieving and low achieving undergraduates on two computer assisted instruction modules, one in which learners were forced to review informational frames following errors and one where the review was optional. Dependent and collateral variables are discussed and criterion referenced tests used…

Computers and Teachers: Factors Influencing Computer Use in the Classroom.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marcinkiewicz, Henryk R. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1994
Reports on a study examining how well several personal variables predict elementary school teachers' use of computers for teaching. Variables examined included innovativeness, teacher locus of control, perceived relevance of computers, and self-competence in using computers. Data on age, gender, and years of computer experience were also…
