Moreno, Roxana – Learning and Instruction, 2009
Participants in the present study were 87 college students who learned about botany using an agent-based instructional program with three different learning approaches: individual, jigsaw, or cooperative learning. Results showed no differences among learning approaches on retention. Students in jigsaw groups reported higher cognitive load during…

Peer reviewedFischer, F.; Bruhn, J.; Grasel, C.; Mandl, H. – Learning and Instruction, 2002
Studied the extent to which collaborative knowledge construction can be fostered by providing students with visualization tools as structural support. Results for 32 college students working in dyads show that providing a content-specific visualization tool improves both the process and the outcome of the cooperative effort. (SLD)

Peer reviewedHallam, Susan; Francis, Hazel – Learning and Instruction, 1998
The cognitive and affective reactions of 25 higher-degree students to a text-reading task under conditions designed to induce thorough understanding were studied. Variation is discussed in terms of response to text genre, type, and style, and implications are drawn for theory and practice in higher education. (SLD)

Peer reviewedMcCrindle, Andrea R.; Christensen, Carol A. – Learning and Instruction, 1995
Forty college students in a first-year biology course were randomly assigned to a learning journal (experimental) or scientific report (control) group. Results showed that the experimental group used more metacognitive strategies and more sophisticated cognitive strategies during a learning task. (SLD)
