Chen, Yu-ching – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2019
Motivation and math anxiety are crucial in performance and satisfaction, and augmented reality (AR) may be a useful tool in enhancing these factors because it provides users with interesting visual experiences. Since related empirical research is limited in investigating the effects of using free mobile AR apps integrating Keller's ARCS…

Hsin-Yu Lee; Ting-Ting Wu; Chia-Ju Lin; Wei-Sheng Wang; Yueh-Min Huang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2024
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is essential for developing future-ready learners in both secondary and higher education levels. However, as students transition to higher education, many encounter challenges with independent learning and research. This can negatively impact their Higher-Order Thinking Skills…

Bringula, Rex P.; Basa, Roselle S.; Dela Cruz, Cecilio; Rodrigo, Ma. Mercedes T. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
This study attempted to determine the influence of prior knowledge in mathematics of students on learner-interface interactions in a learning-by-teaching intelligent tutoring system. One hundred thirty-nine high school students answered a pretest (i.e., the prior knowledge in mathematics) and a posttest. In between the pretest and posttest, they…

García-Rodicio, Héctor – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2014
In one experiment 97 undergraduate students learned about plate tectonics from a multimedia presentation involving narrated animations and support in one of four forms. Support in the prompting condition included hints inducing participants to self-explain critical information. The signaling condition included overviews recapping critical…

Mayer, Richard E.; Johnson, Cheryl I. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2010
Students learned about electrical circuits in an arcade-type game consisting of 10 levels. For example, in one level students saw two circuits consisting of various batteries and resistors connected in series or parallel, and had to indicate which one had a higher rate of moving current. On levels 1-9, all students received a correct tone and had…

Duncan, Heather E.; Barnett, John – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2009
While opportunities for online learning are increasing in K-12 education, few teacher education programs include courses on online teaching and learning. Using Garrison and Anderson's (2003) "Community of Inquiry" framework, this qualitative study explored the educational experiences of pre-service teachers in an experiential online course…

Kluge, Annette – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2007
This article empirically supports the thesis that there is no clear and unequivocal argument in favor of simulations and experiential learning. Instead the effectiveness of simulation-based learning methods depends strongly on the target group's characteristics. Two methods of supporting experiential learning are compared in two different complex…

Melara, Gloria E. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
Examines the effect of learning style on the performance of college students (n=40) within two different hypertext structures. Results indicate both structures equally accommodated learners with preferences on experimentation and learners with preferences on observation; network structures accommodated learning styles better than hierarchical…

Levin, Tamar; Gordon, Claire – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1989
Describes study of Israeli secondary school students that was conducted to determine the extent to which gender and prior computer exposure affect students' attitudes toward computers prior to computer instruction in school. An attitude questionnaire designed to measure affective and cognitive attitudes toward computers is described, and results…

Chou, Huey-Wen; Wang, Yu-Fang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1999
Compares the effects of two training methods on computer attitude and performance in a World Wide Web page design program in a field experiment with high school students in Taiwan. Discusses individual differences, Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory and Learning Style Inventory, Computer Attitude Scale, and results of statistical analyses.…

Swan, Karen; Kratcoski, Annette; Mazzer, Pat; Schenker, Jason – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2005
This article describes an ongoing situated professional development program in which teachers bring their intact classes for an extended stay in a ubiquitous computing environment equipped with a variety of state-of-the-art computing devices. The experience is unique in that it not only situates teacher learning about technology integration in…

Ruberg, Lorena F.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1996
Based on classroom observation, interviews, and student and teacher surveys, this study examined student interaction and participation within a computer-mediated communication (CMC) environment in a college-level plant science lab course. The CMC discourse encouraged experimentation, sharing of early ideas, increased and more distributed…
