Martindale, Michael J. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1993
Computer users need not form a mental model to describe what is happening during a tutorial. Rather, users need to form text schemas, and tutorials should be thought of as a communication medium. Tutorials should be considered to be like books, and hypertext may be the best structure for them. (Contains 40 references.) (JLB)

Milheim, William D.; Martin, Barbara L. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Discusses and reviews learner control research and presents three theoretical bases to help provide a framework for past research as well as to assist in designing future studies: (1) motivation, (2) attribution, and (3) information processing. Three types of learner control are discussed in relation to the theoretical perspectives: pacing,…

Cronin, Michael W.; Cronin, Karen A. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1992
Provides a critical analysis of theoretical foundations concerning interactive video instruction (IVI). Theories and related research regarding multimedia interactivity, visual features, motivation, and learner control in IVI are reviewed; and the theoretical models of Hansen (relating to skill acquisition) and Clark and Sugrue (relating to…

Reeves, Thomas C. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1993
Presents a critique of published learner control studies that highlights problems with definitions of learner control, theoretical foundations, treatment duration, outcome measures, sample sizes, and conclusions. Recommendations are made concerning the exploration of alternative models for research focused on learner control and other aspects of…

Jonassen, David H.; And Others – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1993
Discusses constructivist uses of production rule expert systems that may be used to support learning for secondary and higher education. Highlights include locus of control; and objectivist and constructivist applications of expert systems as intelligent tutoring systems, as feedback systems, as personal knowledge representation tools, and for…

Murphy, Marilyn Anne; Davidson, Gayle V. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1991
Describes a study that tested the applicability of the Tennyson-Cocchiarella concept teaching model for undergraduate nursing education, and investigated the effects of three different learner control strategies on concept learning. The computer-based concept lesson used is described, and effects on recall and retention are discussed. (33…

Santiago, Rowena S.; Okey, James R. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduate preservice teachers that investigated three types of advisement--adaptive, evaluative, and combined--and their effects in learner-controlled computer-based instruction for learners with varying locus of control orientations. Posttest results are reported, and it is concluded that there is no significant…
