Heckler, Andrew F.; Mikula, Brendon D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
In experiments including over 450 university-level students, we studied the effectiveness and time efficiency of several levels of feedback complexity in simple, computer-based training utilizing static question sequences. The learning domain was simple vector math, an essential skill in introductory physics. In a unique full factorial design, we…
