Sezgin, Sezan – Participatory Educational Research, 2021
This study aims at investigating the change of cognitive presence (CP), which is one of the basic variables for effective learning in online discussions, based on the cognitive style. Cognitive styles of the participants were identified based on the group embedded figures test (GEFT). The participants of the study took part in online discussions…

Liew, Tze Wei; Tan, Su-Mae; Seydali, Rouzbeh – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2014
The present study examined the relationship among learners' differences, behaviors in manipulating variables, and learning achievements in a simulation-based program that supports discovery learning in the subject of C-programming algorithm. Participants (n = 66) took the Group Embedded Figures Test, Action Control Scale, and Computer…

Panek, Paul E. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The Group Embedded Figures Test and the Hand Test were administered to 64 community-living females, aged 60 to 81 years old. Seven low but significant correlations were obtained between personality variables and field-dependence/independence. Findings suggest that many postulated field-dependence/independence personality relations change with old…

Bishop-Clark, Cathy – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1995
Presents a model that suggests the cognitive style and personality traits that are likely to affect programming stages and empirically investigates 1 portion of that model with 192 college students. Correlations between results from the Group Embedded Figures Test and design and coding tasks are discussed. (LRW)

Cavaiani, Thomas P. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1989
Discussion of the relationship of personality variables to programing ability highlights a study of undergraduates that investigated the influence of cognitive style on the programing skill of debugging. Use of the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) is described, scoring schemes for diagnostic tasks are explained, and suggestions for further…
