Obaid, Teeba; Nesbit, John C.; Mahmoody Ghaidary, Ahmad; Jain, Misha; Hajian, Shiva – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Understanding scientific phenomena requires learners to construct mental models of causal systems. Simulation-based discovery learning offers learners the opportunity to construct mental models and test them against the behavior of a simulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate sequential patterns of learner actions and utterances…

Heirweg, Sofie; De Smul, Mona; Merchie, Emmelien; Devos, Geert; Van Keer, Hilde – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
The present study investigates primary school students' self-regulated learning (SRL) process by exploring the sequence in which SRL activities are conducted during learning. The aims of this study are twofold: investigating the presence of the theoretically hypothesized cyclical nature in students' SRL process, as well as potential differences…

McEneaney, John E. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2016
Instructional technologies critically depend on systematic design, and learning hierarchies are a commonly advocated tool for designing instructional sequences. But hierarchies routinely allow numerous sequences and choosing an optimal sequence remains an unsolved problem. This study explores a simulation-based approach to modeling learning…
