Self-Instruction by Hearing-Impaired Students in Science.
Rockwell, Dale L. – 1991
This study examined two approaches to self-instruction by hearing-impaired students through use of instructor-developed science modules. Subjects were 24 students (ages 18-28) enrolled in allied health programs at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. The first approach involved the reading of science modules and writing answers on study…

The Teaching Decisions Simulation: An Interactive Vehicle for Mapping Teaching Decisions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Strang, Harold R. – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 1996
Describes the Teaching Decisions Simulation, a program that allows participants to make decisions regarding lesson plan activities and student and teacher spatial arrangement or interactions. Postlesson feedback includes variables such as completion time and performance measures. Experienced teachers exhibited more deliberation in completing the…

Pedaste, M.; Sarapuu, T.; Outcomes of Education – Interactive Learning Environments, 2006
The aim of the present study was to investigate those factors influencing performance in solving story problems in a web-based environment. A situational simulation, "Hiking across Estonia," was explored by two samples of voluntary groups of students, comprising 65 and 50 groups, respectively. They solved 25 ecological and environmental story…

Computer-Assisted Language Learning as a Predictor of Success in Acquiring English as a Second Language.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chappelle, Carol; Jamieson, Joan – TESOL Quarterly, 1986
Reports on a study of the effectiveness of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) in the acquisition of English as a second language by Arabic- and Spanish-speaking students in an intensive program. Examines two student variables--time spent using CALL lessons and attitude toward them--as well as four cognitive/affective characteristics.…

The Effect of Interaction and Perceived Need for Training on Learning and Time Spent Learning from Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schwier, Richard A.; Misanchuk, Earl R. – Canadian Journal of Educational Communication, 1988
Describes study that examined the effects of embedded questions and review frames on learning from computer-based instruction as well as the effect of perceived need for training on performance. Experimental and control group treatments for management training are explained, hypotheses tested are presented, and results are analyzed. (24…

The Effects of Cooperative Learning and Learner Control on High- and Low Achievers.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Temiyakarn, Chanchai; Hooper, Simon – 1993
This paper reports on a study investigating the effects of studying alone or in cooperative-learning groups on the performance of high and low achievers. The effects of completing computer-based instruction using either learner or program control are also examined. A total of 92 sixth-grade students were classified by Stanford Achievement Scores…
