Learning to See: Guiding Students' Attention via a Model's Eye Movements Fosters Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jarodzka, Halszka; van Gog, Tamara; Dorr, Michael; Scheiter, Katharina; Gerjets, Peter – Learning and Instruction, 2013
This study investigated how to teach perceptual tasks, that is, classifying fish locomotion, through eye movement modeling examples (EMME). EMME consisted of a replay of eye movements of a didactically behaving domain expert (model), which had been recorded while he executed the task, superimposed onto the video stimulus. Seventy-five students…

Solving Graphics Tasks: Gender Differences in Middle-School Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lowrie, Tom; Diezmann, Carmel M. – Learning and Instruction, 2011
The capacity to solve tasks that contain high concentrations of visual-spatial information, including graphs, maps and diagrams, is becoming increasingly important in educational contexts as well as everyday life. This research examined gender differences in the performance of students solving graphics tasks from the Graphical Languages in…

Taming a Beast of Burden--On Some Issues with the Conceptualisation and Operationalisation of Cognitive Load
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beckmann, Jens F. – Learning and Instruction, 2010
Research on cognitive load theory (CLT) has not yet provided facet-specific measures of cognitive load. The lack of valid methods to measure intrinsic, extraneous and germane cognitive load makes it difficult to empirically test theoretical explanations of effects caused by manipulations of instructional designs. This situation also imposes…

In the Eyes of the Beholder: How Experts and Novices Interpret Dynamic Stimuli
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jarodzka, Halszka; Scheiter, Katharina; Gerjets, Peter; van Gog, Tamara – Learning and Instruction, 2010
Tasks with a complex, dynamic visual component require not only the acquisition of conceptual/procedural but also of perceptual/attentional skills. This study examined expertise differences in perceiving and interpreting complex, dynamic visual stimuli on a performance and on a process level, including perceptual and conceptual strategies.…

Children's Behaviour and Cognitions across Different Balance Tasks
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Messer, David J.; Pine, Karen J.; Butler, Cathal – Learning and Instruction, 2008
Children's understanding of the way objects balance has provided important insights about cognitive development [e.g., Karmiloff-Smith, A. (1992). "Beyond modularity: A developmental perspective on cognitive science." Cambridge, MA: MIT Press; Siegler, R. S. (1976). Three aspects of cognitive development. "Cognitive Psychology," 8, 481-520]. We…

Relations between Young Students' Strategic Behaviours, Domain-Specific Self-Concept, and Performance in a Problem-Solving Situation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…
