Ansarin, Ali Akbar; Khabbazi, Salva Kazemipour – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2021
This study aims at comparing the effect of single- and dual-annotation modes, working memory (WM), and three tasks of different involvement loads (sentence writing, close deletion, and paragraph writing) on passive and active vocabulary development of proficient English as a foreign language (EFL) learners. While listening to an expository text,…

Fathi, Masood; Ghobakhloo, Morteza; Syberfeldt, Anna – Education Sciences, 2019
In the past decade, the importance of teamwork training in higher education and employers' enthusiasm for recruiting team players have been widely discussed in the literature. Yet, the process through which effective teamwork training is developed in a higher education setting has not yet been properly discussed. The present study aims to map the…

Aronne, Luciana; Nagle, Courtney; Styers, Jodie L.; Combs, Adam; George, J. Andrew – Electronic Journal of Science Education, 2019
This study examines the effectiveness of pre-laboratory presentations in an undergraduate general chemistry laboratory using two different modes of delivery: a traditional lecture versus an in-class video presentation. It was anticipated that implementation of videos could result in improved laboratory efficiency, safety, and necessary technical…

Hefter, Markus H.; ten Hagen, Inga; Krense, Claudia; Berthold, Kirsten; Renkl, Alexander – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
A rising number of (online) learning scenarios feature video-based worked examples. We analyzed the effects of the presentation mode of worked examples on their effectiveness and efficiency in two experiments with university students (N[subscript 1] = 57; N[subscript 2] = 43). The students acquired argumentation knowledge by self-explaining…

Yeo, Lian-Ming; Tzeng, Yuh-Tsuen – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Previous study has shown that tracing gesture may enhance the worked example-based learning by reducing cognitive load. The present study attempted to replicate the previous results and further explored the individual differences in tracing effect in relation to the learners' working-memory capacity. Specifically, 11- to 13-year-old students…

Clinton, Virginia; Alibali, Martha W.; Nathan, Mitchell J. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2016
To learn from a text, students must make meaningful connections among related ideas in that text. This study examined the effectiveness of two methods of improving connections--elaborative interrogation and diagrams--in written lessons about posterior probability. Undergraduate students (N = 198) read a lesson in one of three questioning…

Strom, Robert D.; Strom, Paris S. – Educational Gerontology, 2017
People are living longer so expectations of grandparents should be redefined. Learning for them should focus on fulfilling family and community roles to retain a sense of purpose. Grandparent education requires a willingness to learn from the observations of younger family members. The intergenerational perceptions of American grandparents were…

Kennedy, Michael J.; Alves, Kat D.; Miciak, Jeremy; Romig, John; Mathews, Hannah Morris; Thomas, Cathy Newman – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2016
Content Acquisition Podcasts for Teachers (CAP-T) are a form of multimedia-based instruction that are supported by an empirical record of effectiveness and are grounded in Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning and accompanying instructional design principles. In this study, 162 students enrolled in an introductory course in special…

Chen, Chun-Ying – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
This study investigated the influence of cognitive support for learning computer-based tasks using animated demonstration (AD) on instructional efficiency. Cognitive support included (1) segmentation and learner control introducing interactive devices that allow content sequencing through a navigational menu, and content pacing through stop and…

Tobias, Sigmund; Fletcher, J. Dexter; Chen, Fei – Educational Technology, 2015
Digital games were reviewed as an emerging tool in educational technology. Factors such as instructional effectiveness, time on task, relationship to curricula, student socio-economic status, violence in games, and game mechanics were considered. Despite considerable variability among studies, larger overall effect sizes for the impact of games on…

van Loon-Hillen, Nelleke; van Gog, Tamara; Brand-Gruwel, Saskia – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
A large body of research has shown that for novice learners, instruction that relies more heavily on worked examples than on problem solving, is more effective for learning as shown by higher test performance. Moreover, this beneficial effect is often obtained with less acquisition time and lower cognitive load during acquisition and test phase.…

Tabbers, Huib K.; de Koeijer, Bastiaan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2010
The "interactivity principle" in multimedia learning states that giving learners control over pace and order of instructions decreases cognitive load and increases transfer performance. We tested this guideline by comparing a learner-paced instruction with a system-paced instruction. Time-on-task and interactive behavior were logged, and were also…

Morozov, Andrew – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2009
This study contributes to research investigating the effects of individual differences and online instructional design on learning. Learning performance was compared across three hypertext formats incorporating different navigational aids. The hierarchical map represented the physical structure of the hypertext in one condition, while the network…

McCurdy, Merilee; Skinner, Christopher H.; Grantham, Kay; Watson, T. Steuart; Hindman, Peggy M. – School Psychology Review, 2001
An alternating treatments design was used to evaluate the effects of the interspersal procedure on an elementary student who was referred to a school psychologist for high rates of off-task behavior during independent seatwork. Results showed that the procedure increased the student's on-task levels during classroom mathematics assignments.…
