We investigated whether the temporal contiguity effect, which holds that information sources, such as visual information and narration need to be temporally coordinated for learning to be effective, can also be found in narrated slideshows. A concurrent presentation-key point format (CPK), in which visual information sequentially appeared as key…

This article describes how a teacher orchestrated a productive mathematics discussion to draw out mathematical knowledge and connect different areas of mathematics following a geometric sequences task. Whenever teachers succeed to engage their students in producing mathematics, it is advantageous for their moves to be analysed, discerned and…

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…

The article introduces a software application (MATH) supporting an education of Applied Mathematics, with focus on Numerical Mathematics. The MATH is an easy to use tool supporting various numerical methods calculations with graphical user interface and integrated plotting tool for graphical representation written in Qt with extensive use of Qwt…

Concerted efforts have been made within teacher preparation programs to integrate teaching with technology into the curriculum. Unfortunately, these efforts continue to fall short as teachers' application of educational technology is unsophisticated and not well integrated. The most prevalent approaches to integrating technology tend to ignore…

A look at how developing countries, specifically Korea, are beginning to look to educational technology as a partial solution to their educational problems. (Author)

The module described is addressed to inservice teachers of all subject areas in the middle and secondary school levels. The goal of this module is to provide learners with sufficient knowledge about programmed instruction to enable them to implement programmed instruction in their classroom. The scope and sequencing of topics is outlined.…

This annotated bibliography is a compilation of the research on programed instruction conducted in the United States since 1954. The introduction describes the field; looks back over the research and reviews some of its conclusions; answers the question whether students learn from programmed instruction; explains the characteristic variables; and…
