Peer reviewedFiore, Stephen M.; Cuevas, Haydee M.; Oser, Randall L. – Computers in Human Behavior, 2003
Describes a study of undergraduates that investigated the influence of training format on knowledge structure development and how differing knowledge structure measurement techniques can be used to best assess training effectiveness. Manipulated the presence of diagrams in a computer-based training tutorial to assess mental model development and…

Peer reviewedTennyson, Robert D. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1988
Presents model of instructional strategy planning that links specific cognitive learning and thinking processes with specific computer-based instructional strategies. Topics discussed include memory systems; types of knowledge; drill and practice; tutorials; task-oriented simulations; problem-oriented simulations; and self directed experiences.…

Peer reviewedDavis, Erica S.; Hantula, Donald A. – Computers in Human Behavior, 2001
Describes a study of university students that investigated the effects of a variable unique to Internet-based learning, namely download delay of instructional materials. Discusses a simulated online teaching tool that measured the effects of download delay of images on test performance, time spent on the material, end-user satisfaction, and…

Peer reviewedRoss, Steven M.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1990
Describes two programs that provided distance tutoring for sixth grade minority students enrolled in the Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow (ACOT) class at an inner-city elementary school. Bulletin board systems (BBSs) and teleconferencing are described, student and tutor attitudes are examined, and guidelines to improve the effectiveness of future…

Peer reviewedWheeler, J. L.; Regian, J. W. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1999
Describes a study of ninth-grade students that evaluated the ability of the Word Problem Solving Tutor, a cognitive tutoring system, to improve the abstract-reasoning component of word-problem solving. Compares combinations of traditional instruction, computer-assisted instruction, and the tutoring program and discusses implications for math…

Peer reviewedBaron, Lois J.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
Describes a study of fifth- and sixth-grade students that assessed the relationship of group size, exposure time, and attributions on children's performance on drill and practice of tutorial microcomputer tasks. Results of hierarchical regression are discussed and it is suggested that software designers focus on appropriate feedback to enhance…
