The purpose of the experiment was to examine whether students better understand a science text when they are asked to self-generate summaries or to study predefined summaries. Furthermore, we tested the effects of verbal and pictorial summaries. The experiment followed a 2 x 2 design with representation mode (verbal vs. pictorial) and learning…

Grau, Valeska; Whitebread, David – Learning and Instruction, 2012
The purpose of the present research was to advance the development of knowledge regarding social aspects of self-regulated learning (SRL). The study had the objective of exploring the occurrence of self and social aspects of regulation during collaborative activities within regular primary science classes. Through a multiple case study approach, 8…

Schoor, Cornelia; Bannert, Maria – Learning and Instruction, 2011
Addressing a drawback in current research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), this study investigated the influence of motivation on learning activities and knowledge acquisition during CSCL. Participants' (N = 200 university students) task was to develop a handout for which they had first an individual preparing phase followed by…

Zhou, Mingming; Winne, Philip H. – Learning and Instruction, 2012
We examined achievement goals measured by self-reports and by traces (behavioral indicators) gathered as undergraduates used software tools to study a multimedia-formatted article. Traces were operationalized by tags participants applied to selections of text and hyperlinks they clicked in the article. Tags and hyperlinks were titled to represent…

Rouet, Jean-Francois – Learning and Instruction, 2009
Designers of interactive learning environments face the issue of managing the learner's cognitive load, reducing irrelevant sources while optimizing useful sources of load. I propose a conceptual framework aimed at organizing the contributions of the papers presented in this special issue. The framework identifies three main dimensions, namely…

Bodemer, Daniel; Ploetzner, Rolf; Feuerlein, Inge; Spada, Hans – Learning and Instruction, 2004
Computer-based learning environments commonly comprise symbolic as well as static and dynamic pictorial representations, frequently combined with the possibility of modifying them interactively. While multiple, dynamic and interactive external representations have the potential to improve learning in various ways, they also place specific demands…

Seidel, Tina; Rimmele, Rolf; Prenzel, Manfred – Learning and Instruction, 2005
The article addresses clarity and coherence of lesson goals as a scaffold for student learning. In 13 physics classes video recordings of the introductory lesson of two topics were rated with respect to clarity and coherence of the lesson structure. HLM analyses showed a positive effect of classes with high goal clarity and coherence on the…

Hofer, Manfred; Schmid, Sebastian; Fries, Stefan; Dietz, Franziska; Clausen, Marten; Reinders, Heinz – Learning and Instruction, 2007
In a self-report study, students (N = 704, mean age: 13.5 years) were confronted with two scenarios, depicting situations of motivational conflict. They were asked to choose between a school and a leisure activity. A model was tested with value orientations as determinants and successful self-regulation as the consequence of the decision reached…

Grosse, Cornelia S.; Renkl, Alexander – Learning and Instruction, 2006
Most mathematical problems can be solved using different methods. We tested the effectiveness of presenting more than one solution method by means of worked-out examples. In Experiment 1, a 2x3-factorial design was implemented ("multiple solutions": multiple/uniform; "instructional support": none/self-explanations/instructional explanations).…

Yan, Louisa; Kember, David – Learning and Instruction, 2004
This article reports the group equivalents to deep and surface learning approaches by individuals. The learning behaviour of out-of-class student groups was examined through 57 individual and 15 focus group interviews with university students in Hong Kong. A number of types of learning activities were identified and most had variants with…

Schellings, Gonny; Aarnoutse, Cor; van Leeuwe, Jan – Learning and Instruction, 2006
In the present study, we examined the reading activities of young readers, while reading an expository text. A total of 24 third-graders was administered a think-aloud task on two occasions. Their protocols were analysed by a coding system that captured two levels of the reading process: the word identification level and the reading comprehension…

den Brok, Perry; Bergen, Theo; Stahl, Robert J.; Brekelmans, Mieke – Learning and Instruction, 2004
Student perceptions of the kind and extent of control in their teachers' control behaviours during learning activities were investigated. Theorists distinguish between "student-initiated" and "teacher-initiated" regulation of students' learning activities; or between "strong," "shared" and "loose"…
