Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Choi, Seohyun; Kim, Dongsik; Jung, Jaewon – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2021
Emphasis manipulation is a way to help learners by directing their attention to particular subcomponents of a learning task. This study investigated the effects of different approaches to emphasis manipulation on knowledge transfer and cognitive load. This was done by examining the impact of three task selection strategies: system-controlled,…

Mize, Min Kyung; Park, Yujeong; Moore, Tara – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
The purpose of this study was to synthesize the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) studies aiming to increase vocabulary for students with disabilities in an effort to identify what type of CAI is promising for practice. An extensive search process with inclusion and exclusion criteria yielded a total of 13 single-subject design…

The Acquisition of Problem-Solving Skills in Mathematics: How Animations Can Aid Understanding of Structural Problem Features and Solution Procedures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Scheiter, Katharina; Gerjets, Peter; Schuh, Julia – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
In this paper the augmentation of worked examples with animations for teaching problem-solving skills in mathematics is advocated as an effective instructional method. First, in a cognitive task analysis different knowledge prerequisites are identified for solving mathematical word problems. Second, it is argued that so called hybrid animations…

Kidwai, Khusro; Munyofu, Mine; Swain, William J; Ausman, Bradley D.; Lin, Huifen; Dwyer, Francis – Association for Educational Communications and Technology, 2001
Animation is being used extensively for instructional purposes; however, it has not been found to be effective on measures of higher order learning (concepts, rules, procedures) within the knowledge acquisition and knowledge integration domains. The purpose of this study was to examine the instructional effectiveness of two visual scaffolding…

Visual Displays and Contextual Presentations in Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Park, Ok-choon – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1998
Investigates the effects of two instructional strategies, visual display (animation, and static graphics with and without motion cues) and contextual presentation, in the acquisition of electronic troubleshooting skills using computer-based instruction. Study concludes that use of visual displays and contextual presentation be based on the…

Selective Use of Animation and Feedback in Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Park, Ok-choon; Gittelman, Stuart S. – Educational Technology, Research and Development, 1992
Discussion of computer-based instruction and animation focuses on a study of undergraduates that investigated the effects of two computer-based instructional strategies, visual display and feedback type, on teaching how to troubleshoot electronic circuits. Time spent on various components of the program is also examined. (35 references) (LRW)
