The Effects of Cooperative Training and Ability Grouping on Microcomputer Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baron, Lois J. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1997
Describes a study of fifth and sixth graders that investigated the effects of cooperative training and ability grouping on microcomputer learning. Results on four measures of achievement did not support the use of cooperative learning or ability grouping to enhance achievement in computer-assisted instruction. (Author/LRW)

Computer Anxiety Correlates and What They Tell Us: A Literature Review.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Maurer, Matthew M. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1994
Research suggests that computer anxiety and computer experience are related. Some relationship between age and gender and computer anxiety has been suggested but not sufficiently examined. Other relationships have been explored with little result, and little is known about mediating computer anxiety. A model of the development of computer anxiety…

Improving the Effectiveness of Learning through Hypermedia-Based Instruction: The Importance of Learner Characteristics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weller, Herman G.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1995
Discussion of hypermedia-based instruction focuses on studies of eighth-grade junior high school students that investigated differences in cognitive style during information-seeking behavior and learning, the effect of social context (collaborative versus individual study), and the effects of magnet school students' self-regulation of study time.…

Attributions, Group Size, and Exposure Time as Predictors of Elementary Children's Performance on a Microcomputer Task.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baron, Lois J.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
Describes a study of fifth- and sixth-grade students that assessed the relationship of group size, exposure time, and attributions on children's performance on drill and practice of tutorial microcomputer tasks. Results of hierarchical regression are discussed and it is suggested that software designers focus on appropriate feedback to enhance…

The Use of Small Groups in Computer-Based Training: A Review of Recent Literature.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stephenson, Stanley D. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1994
Recent work in small-group computer-based training (CBT) reveals that the approach does not necessarily lead to higher achievement. Many of the studies, however, have methodological weaknesses. If proper guidance and structure can be provided to group members, using small group CBT should lead to higher achievement than individual CBT. (Contains…
