Liu, Zhichun; Moon, Jewoong; Kim, Byungjoo; Dai, Chih-Pu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
In this synthesis, we systematically review research on educational games with adaptivity. Although an adaptive gaming experience provides personalization to learning, the complexity of design makes it difficult to evaluate its effectiveness. In this systematic review, we adopt three analytic approaches: (1) bibliometric analysis, (2) qualitative…

Cohen, Anat; Ezra, Orit; Hershkovitz, Arnon; Tzayada, Odelia; Tabach, Michal; Levy, Ben; Segal, Avi; Gal, Kobi – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
Personalizing the use of educational mathematics applets to fit learners' characteristics poses a great challenge. The present study adopted a unique approach by comparing personalization processes implemented by a machine to those implemented by a human teacher. Given the different affordances--the machine's access to historical log file data,…

Öllinger, Michael; Hammon, Stephanie; von Grundherr, Michael; Funke, Joachim – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2015
Causal mapping is often recognized as a technique to support strategic decisions and actions in complex problem situations. Such drawing of causal structures is supposed to particularly foster the understanding of the interaction of the various system elements and to further encourage holistic thinking. It builds on the idea that humans make use…

Reid, Alan J.; Morrison, Gary R.; Bol, Linda – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2017
This paper presents results from an experimental study that examined embedded strategy prompts in digital text and their effects on calibration and metacomprehension accuracies. A sample population of 80 college undergraduates read a digital expository text on the basics of photography. The most robust treatment (mixed) read the text, generated a…

Hatsidimitris, George; Kalyuga, Slava – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Learning with instructional animations may overstretch limited working memory resources due to intense processing demands associated with transient information. The authors investigated whether explicit instructional advice coupled with a task-specific learner control mechanism (such as a timeline scrollbar) could facilitate the successful…

Cheon, Jongpil; Grant, Michael M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a metaphorical interface on germane cognitive load in Web-based instruction. Based on cognitive load theory, germane cognitive load is a cognitive investment for schema construction and automation. A new instrument developed in a previous study was used to measure students' mental activities…
