Topu, Fatma Burcu – Journal of Learning and Teaching in Digital Age, 2023
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cognitive load level on students' attitude towards the gamified course. It was also found out the students' views regarding the 14-week gamified course. Participants consisted of 66 undergraduate students. 40 of them had low cognitive load level and 26 of them had high cognitive load level.…

Shu Chen; Xiaoting Liu; Norfarizah Mohd Bakhir; Yang Yu – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This paper studies the effect of learning efficiency through various animations in conjunction with instructional teaching of traditional Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) crafts projects. The germane cognitive load (GCL) is defined as an investment in cognitive resources for schema development and automation. This study employs four…

Wang, Wei-Tsong; Kartika Sari, Mega – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
The designs of gamification platforms are diverse and constantly evolving. Excessive use of various game mechanisms in learning platforms can distract from the learning process. However, the fit of game mechanisms is still uncertain. Thus, this study investigates the effect of achieving fit when implementing game mechanisms on learning outcomes by…

Renske Weeda; Sjaak Smetsers; Erik Barendsen – Computer Science Education, 2024
Background and Context: Multiple studies report that experienced instructors lack consensus on the difficulty of programming tasks for novices. However, adequately gauging task difficulty is needed for alignment: to select and structure tasks in order to assess what students can and cannot do. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine…

K. C. Culver; Nathaniel Bray; John Braxton – Research in Higher Education, 2024
The assumption that honors programs are more academically challenging is rarely interrogated. Using multi-institutional, longitudinal quantitative data from a larger study, we use quasi-experimental methods to examine students' experiences of course rigor, including workload and cognitive challenge, for honors participants compared to…

Seda Kavaz; Omer Kocak – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
This study aims to investigate the effect of the online flipped learning model (OFLM) when integrated into a mathematics course in an emergency remote teaching process on seventh grade students' academic achievement, their attitudes towards their mathematics course, and their cognitive load. The study was designed as a crossover experimental…

Janssen, Eva M.; van Gog, Tamara; van de Groep, Laura; de Lange, Anne Jóia; Knopper, Roosmarijn L.; Onan, Erdem; Wiradhany, Wisnu; de Bruin, Anique B. H. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Students tend to avoid effective but effortful study strategies. One potential explanation could be that high-effort experiences may not give students an immediate feeling of learning, which may affect their perceptions of the strategy's effectiveness and their willingness to use it. In two experiments, we investigated the role of mental effort in…

Linnenbrink-Garcia, Lisa – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
The articles in this special issue take an important step in beginning to test the PET framework. Together, these articles illustrate the importance of considering individual differences in attitudes and prior knowledge as well as differences in task demands when investigating the role of emotions in shaping cognitive processing while reading…

Yi Zhang; Jiumin Yang; Chenyan Dai; Zhongling Pi – Educational Technology & Society, 2024
Previous studies have shown that encouraging students to use self-explanation strategies has proven effective in text-focused learning contexts. However, no study to date has focused on how students' strategy preference moderates the effect of self-explanation strategies on learning from video lectures. The current study investigated how students'…

The present cross-sectional study sought to explore the role of social support and self-esteem in alleviating the Covid-19 burdens among university students in a context characterized by political instability and conflict, such as the one of the Gaza Strip. Three hundred and fifteen university students in the Gaza Strip, 230 (73%) boys and 85…

According to Bandura's theory of reciprocal determinism, self-efficacy and academic achievement can have a mutual influence over one another. While empirical research generally supports this position, little focus has been given to within- and between-person factors that may moderate this relationship. The present study explored how initial…

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of integrating ultrasound into undergraduate medical curricula. However, empirical evidence is lacking as to its effect on anatomy learning and related student cognition. Therefore, the present study compared the impact of echocardiography-based instruction with narrated…

Gustavo Gutierrez Carreon – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2025
Aim/Purpose: The need for this paper arises from the lack of comprehensive studies comparing the impact of cloud-based versus local database systems on student learning outcomes. Specifically, there is a need to understand how these different approaches affect usability and cognitive load in educational settings, which are critical factors for…

This study examines the role of AI-powered learning tools in influencing cognitive load, well-being and academic success among music education students, with a focus on technology acceptance as a key factor. Data were collected through a random sampling of 454 Chinese music students (192 males, 262 females) aged 18-24, with varying levels of…

Spatial understanding of complex anatomical concepts is often a challenge for learners, as well as for educators. It is even more challenging for students with low mental spatial abilities. There are many options to teach spatial relationships, ranging from simple models to high-end three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality tools. Using a randomized…
