Direct linkAyres, Paul – Learning and Instruction, 2013
Reducing problem complexity by isolating elements has been shown to be an effective instructional strategy. Novices, in particular, benefit from learning from worked examples that contain partially interacting elements rather than worked examples that provide full interacting elements. This study investigated whether the isolating-elements…

de Koning, Bjorn B.; Tabbers, Huib K.; Rikers, Remy M. J. P.; Paas, Fred – Learning and Instruction, 2010
To examine how visual attentional resources are allocated when learning from a complex animation about the cardiovascular system, eye movements were registered in the absence and presence of visual cues. Cognitive processing was assessed using cued retrospective reporting, whereas comprehension and transfer tests measured the quality of the…

Dermitzaki, Irini; Leondari, Angeliki; Goudas, Marios – Learning and Instruction, 2009
This study aimed at investigating the relations between students' strategic behaviour during problem solving, task performance and domain-specific self-concept. A total of 167 first- and second-graders were individually examined in tasks involving cubes assembly and in academic self-concept in mathematics. Students' cognitive, metacognitive, and…

Peer reviewedAckermann, Edith K. – Learning and Instruction, 1998
Offers a commentary on five contributions to recent developments in the study of cognitive development that have been selected for this special issue. The relevance of each author's paper to issues that are central to cognitivists today and post-Piagetian developmental psychologists is discussed, and the overall need of evolutionary models to…

Peer reviewedPillay, Hitendra – Learning and Instruction, 1998
The effects of four different instructional formats (orthographic drawing, isometric drawing, physical model, and isometric and physical model together) on learning outcomes and strategies for spatial tasks were studied with 40 secondary students. Findings indicate that physical models cause the least extraneous cognitive load. (SLD)

Peer reviewedNecka, Edward; And Others – Learning and Instruction, 1992
The effects of incidental learning were assessed in 2 experiments involving 201 seventh graders in Poland through an experimental paradigm based on the levels of processing theory. Data suggest that an important aspect of intelligence is "opportunistic" learning (learning in advance). Intelligent people take cognitive advantage of…

Merenluoto, Kaarina; Lehtinen, Erno – Learning and Instruction, 2004
The research on conceptual change has so far mainly dealt with cognitive outcomes, but especially during the last few years there has been a growing interest in and discussion about the processes of conceptual change. The purpose of the article is to contribute to this discussion and to present a theoretical model of the dynamics among the…

Vosniadou, Stella; Skopeliti, Irini; Ikospentaki, Kalliopi – Learning and Instruction, 2005
This experiment investigated the effect of the presentation of a globe--the culturally accepted artifact representing the earth--on children's reasoning in elementary astronomy. Forty-four children from grades 1 and 3 were interviewed individually. First, the children were asked to make their own representations of the earth (i.e., drawings and…

Peer reviewedVosniadou, Stella, Ed.; Saljo, Roger, Ed. – Learning and Instruction, 1994
The seven articles of this theme issue bring together recent theoretical work in investigating the kind of conceptual change that occurs in the learning of the physical sciences. How conceptual change occurs and the implications for science instruction are considered. (SLD)

Peer reviewedKumpulainen, Kristiina; Mutanen, Mika – Learning and Instruction, 1999
Introduces a descriptive system of analysis of peer-group interaction that consists of a three-dimensional analysis of peer-group interaction by focusing on the functions of verbal interaction and the nature of cognitive processing and social processing. Twenty 12-year-old students from one Finnish classroom participated in the study. Empirical…
