Kim, Sung-il; Yoon, M.; Whang, S.-M.; Tversky, B.; Morrison, J. B. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
Although animations are believed to be effective in learning and teaching, several studies have failed to confirm this. Nevertheless, animations might be more attractive and motivating. Fourth and sixth grade students learned the operation of a bicycle pump from graphics that were: (i) presented simultaneously; (ii) presented successively; (iii)…
